    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this Motion on the adoption of the 2018 Budget Policy Statement. As the Senate Committee on Education, we went through this document and keenly looked at the sectors that touch on education in the Senate in relation to the areas that are devolved. Two areas are fully devolved in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. One is what we used to call the village polytechnics, which are now called youth polytechnics or vocational training centres and the other is the Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will go straight to the points we observed and say something about going forward. We did appreciate as a Committee that in this Policy Statement an allocation of Kshs2 billion is being given as conditional grants to the counties in favour of rehabilitation of village polytechnics. The only observation we made out of that is the fact that when we talk of rehabilitation of village polytechnics, it assumes that they are there to begin with. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
