    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to join my colleagues in congratulating the newly appointed PS for Vocational Training Dr. Dinah Cherotich Mwinzi is highly qualified. She has done her Doctorate Degree in Educational and Communication Technology. She has a wide experience in public service, having served for the last 25 years in public service. She has taught at Moi University. She is currently sitting as a Director of Vocational Training. She has done a lot in terms of development of national policy and implementation strategy for youth polytechnics and vocational trainings. Her coming in as an Accounting Officer for this department will help us achieve the Vision 2030 policy of industrialization in this country. In this nation, we were missing a link because everybody was rushing for degree programmes, leaving the vocational courses – courtesy of the TTIs that the Jubilee Government has now started to initiate in every constituency. I am lucky to be part of that initiative. In my constituency, we have a TTI that is coming up and it will help train our youth in technical courses. Kenyans are Kenyans. Those who have been appointed are Kenyans. We need not be complaining and saying: “They do not come from my region” or “they do not come from this tribe.” We are appointing Kenyans. Those who are interested in serving this nation must join the Government so that they can be given the opportunity to serve. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
