    "content": "The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research is consulting very loudly. Therefore, we are not paying attention. As I had indicated earlier, this is the money that we had raised which is part of the Kshs6 billion. The additional expenditure of Kshs5 billion is what I said we got a billion from universities. When we get to the votes, you will see that and what we got from the State Department for Interior and various other sources to raise about Kshs5.6 billion. This will go towards capitation of our TVETs and recruitment of 2,000 teachers for our TVETs and the additional 15 which is part of this Kshs5.6 billion. As it is currently, many of the TVETs that have been commissioned and equipped have only one principal and some have two teachers. Therefore, the additional 2,000 teachers will guarantee that even the additional 15 TVETs that we are building for another 15 constituencies have adequate teaching staff. It will also guarantee our students in those TVETs access to these colleges without paying a coin since they will have capitation of Kshs30,000 per student. Unlike before, they will also access Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loans and be able to cater for their fees without paying anything. As Hon. Wanga had said, this is the way to change our country’s economy and, indeed, to power and drive the manufacturing agenda, which is part of our Big Four Agenda. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
