    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to support this Petition and add that our Constitution allows for dual citizenship. However, we have not seen this implemented. Secondly, on petitions, this House has always received petitions. They are discussed but I always wonder where they end up when we get their reports. Why are they not being implemented? It is like there is no track of what happens to the reports that arise out of the petitions that are brought to this House. Allow me also to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya for assenting to the Engineering Technologists and Technicians Bill that is now known as the Kenya Engineering Technology Act, 2016. I also want to appreciate this House for supporting and passing the Bill. I want to believe that the law in place now will play a key role in bringing sanity particularly to the building and construction industry. Today, we witnessed another building collapsing in Kariobangi. Sometime back, a building collapsed in Huruma. The provisions of this Act which are also in line with Vision 2030 will ensure that we reduce unemployment and overdependence on the West. I read recently in one of the gutter Press that one country is intending to import 1,400 workers to come and construct the coal mining industry. This is very unfortunate because we have our own youth who can be employed and who can ably take up that responsibility. I want to thank the Government for supporting the industry. Right now, they are undertaking the construction of technical training institutes in every constituency. I want to urge the youth to make use of access to train as technicians and supply the country with labour. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
