"content": "Hon. Members, the focus should now be making our youth employable by equipping them with appropriate technical skills. Our labour market suffers a huge deficit of technical skills. This was brought to bear with the exploration for oil by Tullow in Turkana. This brought home the reality when they had to import specialized welders from other countries because we did not have the requisite skills available here in Kenya. We also need to make our technical jobs attractive. We, therefore, need more technicians, chefs, masons, plumbers, welders and agricultural related workers to close this gap. My Government has committed and completed 54 new technical training institutes and plans to construct an additional 76 such institutes. This represents 100 per cent increase in the number of institutes in this country since 2013. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
