"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute towards supporting this Bill. This is a type of Bill that should be coming to this House more often. There are some rules which are passed here, but they just go to the same custody where we put papers to gather dust. However, this one should be followed to the letter by the Mover to ensure that it is implemented. I am very particular when it comes to the youth because the NYS as it is now, developed from schools. Having been a teacher at one time; a headmaster for that matter, we used to teach skills of these kind of disciplines. However, what we get after that is after Form Four or Class Eight, majority of the standard eight pupils do not go to Form One. Next January, you will hear of 200,000 will not go to Form One. When the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results are out, you also hear the same story of about 200,000 students not joining universities. What happens to those who do not join institutions of higher learning? These are the ones who are supposed to be catered for by this Bill. This Bill is so significant to us that we should think as to how some of the countries in South East Asia, like China, feeds her population of 1.5 billion people when we cannot afford to feed 40 million Kenyans. I support."
