    "content": "itself. In any event, I am also alarmed. My colleague is telling us that the money is already with us. The best scenario would have been that we debate this Report first. Once we approve it, the money can be disbursed. What if Parliament declines to ratify the Agreement? It would mean that Kenya has to reimburse the money back to the USA. Be that as it may, if the money is here, I am happy. In fact, I support this Report. I am just trying to give more ideas on how to improve the Agreement. My argument is that what we are doing here by implication is that we are making law. If you look at Article 2(6) of the Constitution, this is like a law-making process. A treaty that is ratified by Parliament becomes part of the Kenyan law. Therefore, I would have urged to have better details. I think the Executive should not always have the notion that everything they bring to Parliament will be passed as it is. They may bring something here for ratification and the House may refuse to support it. I want to reiterate the point I was making on education. Most of the students who graduate with Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Biology at Chiromo Campus of the University of Nairobi, for instance, do not get employment as opposed to those who pursue professional courses like Accounting and Medicine. I strongly believe that these people can be well utilised by our society, if they can be trained more in cogent areas. The Government should take the opportunity to utilise people who have graduated with Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry. We can send our children to the USA to be trained in this area now that we have this kind of funding. We will not only benefit from the funds, but also get trained experts in this area. This is not an area that should just depend on the Government to detect."
