    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a very good Bill. The author of the Bill must have researched and come to the conclusion that, as a country, there is need to take care of our youth. Everyone of us remembers the time the NYS was very effective. Graduates from the NYS were very productive people, very disciplined and respected. As the Government continues to strengthen the NYS in terms of financial and human resources, I see a very good future for our youth. I want to congratulate the Cabinet Secretary and her staff for having a focus on the NYS. The Government started taking students who were to join university to the NYS after the 1982 coup. The Government thought it wise to instill some discipline into students joining the universities so that they are more focused but after sometime, the training became militarized. They started becoming hardened and resisting Government rules. That is what led people like Mwandawiro Mganga to join other Kenyans in liberating other Kenyans from the one party rule. Madam Temporary Speaker, the graduates of the NYS, those people who had even trained as plant operators, drivers, painters, a good mechanic; when we talk of plant mechanics that is the big machines and even the small vehicles, these are people who have been tested. I can tell you that each and every employer who has tested those people are always asking where those people come from or where they went to school. Since we are now training our people, let us not just imagine that the only area they can go to after the NYS is to be police officers or to be employed in the security departments. There are other areas that they can equally contribute. On the issue of the plant or the mechanics, there are quite a lot of machineries with the NYS and new ones have been bought. Currently, they are doing a lot of water pans and small earth dams in the arid areas. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
