    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am very proud to put my voice on the issue of TVETs because I am a young man. I am very elated by the Budget and Appropriations Committee for increasing the money that is meant for TVETs. First of all, we have the engine in this country. We have the requisite resources. What we lack are the skill drivers of the economy. I believe by imparting skills on the young people of this country, they will take charge in terms of driving the economic agenda of this country. It is a paradox that we have so many university students currently - around 600,000 - and only 150,000 from technical colleges. As Members know, most of the universities and the courses in our universities are meant to produce managers. The TVETs will impart technical skills on blue collar workers, who will be very important as we drive the Big Four Agenda. I know that this money is taken from somewhere. I also heard some other Members talking about NACADA. The biggest clientele of NACADA is the youth of Kenya. It is better to arrest the youth of Kenya and take them to TVETs, so that we do not have enough clients to take to NACADA. We do not have unlimited resources. Some of the issues we are dealing with in terms of programmes are mutually exclusive. We cannot have both. Therefore, wherever this money is coming from and going to the youth of Kenya, it can never go to a better place."
