    "content": "If we know that the commercial centres out there are doing nothing, then we should give them zero, but by giving them such little amounts, we cannot expect to increase our trade volumes significantly. We cannot find enough formal jobs for our youth and that is the reality for Kenya and many other countries, but it is not an excuse. Some colleagues have already commented on investments in technical education. As we think about importing 400 Tanzanian doctors, we should think of importing 400 Chinese professors to teach in our technical colleges because we do not have staff to teach there. The original idea we had when we started the technical training and vocational centres was that they would be serious training and production units and could begin to contribute to the market supply of goods and services which are useable within the economy and exportable. Let us import the people who have used this concept successfully like the Chinese to help in expanding our capacity. I know we had to do what we did with respect to Tanzanian doctors, but we should think about this seriously. I know that my time is running out and my very last comment on this is that the National Treasury and Government must be disciplined and come to Parliament to get approvals for debt ceiling. The law is very clear on this. They go way above and come timidly knowing they exceeded it and do not give us full information.
