    "content": "I will bring an amendment to state that it is going to be compulsory to use local expertise. External expertise can only come when we do not have it locally. There must be that understanding. This is somebody who is going to be trained for a specific period so that he can take over the duties of such expatriates after a certain time. We cannot permit people to come to this country and take up all the jobs that should be going to Kenyans forever. It can only be for a period as we train our people. Perhaps, even as we debate this issue of our petroleum extraction, the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services should wake up from their slumber and start communicating with our training institutions and the industry. It should talk to the industry and find out the job prospects of tomorrow. What will the petroleum industry require in terms of skills in five years to come, so that it can turn around and talk to the training institution like the universities and colleges and know what skills they need for people to be trained? We do not want to find ourselves having to absorb expatriates from abroad for skills that we would, otherwise, have created in the country.
