    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We were able to bring in the Directorate of Industrial Training. We were able to train these people in Mombasa, Nairobi, Kisumu, Nakuru and Nyeri. That is how we managed to get our Asian brothers competitors from Tom Mboya and Biashara streets to go to Industrial Area for the industrialization programmes. This is how the jua kali programmes started rising up. This sustained employment opportunities for Kenyans at 40 per cent. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is where employment will come from. When you talk of industrialization you are talking of micro and medium term enterprises. These will come through children who have gone through the village polytechnics, vocational training centres, technical training institutes and the national polytechnics. These are the children who are not able to pursue the vertical line towards the university level. We are missing out talented groups of people who need to be in that direction such as talent academies to handle footballers and runners. We established talent academies from Canada with this country. They seemed to have fizzled out and we need to re-engineer ourselves and find out how we should revive it. Through this Motion, we should address an array of issues that are bothering the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology so that we bring it in line. Let the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) stand on its own feet and deploy teachers in accordance with their mandate. I support the Motion."
