    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support this amendment. First, just like my first two colleagues have observed, the establishment of Turkana University College will go a long way in giving the Turkana region a very essential service. University education is now becoming a necessity in terms of human resource development. It will enable these people to compete effectively with the rest of Kenyans. The cost of education will then go down for the people living in that county bearing in mind that Turkana County is very far from where most universities are. Secondly, in terms of where the money is being sourced from, it is within the same county from the State Department for Energy under the Power Transmission and Distribution Programme. Many times, we hear of absorption capacity issues within Ministries. Some of this money may not be expended within that financial year. When we give this money to education, I want to believe it will hasten the establishment of this university. At the same time, the power transmission project will go on because there will be more allocation to its Budget."
