"content": "Six months ago, the Government formed a team called the Nairobi Regeneration Team and one of their major tasks was to flush out mechanics and carpenters who were operating on riparian land. As the Member of Parliament, I went to Kirinyaga Road where more than 10,000 mechanics were to be flushed out. The question they were asking me was where they were to go after they were flushed out from where they operate. One thing came into to my mind and I thought if the mechanics had certificates to show that they are mechanics and can be employed in some big industries, life would be easier for them. We all know that even us Members of Parliament, even if we drive big cars, most of us take them to Kirinyaga Road because that is where we have the best mechanics. So, I thought if they have certificates and are flushed out by the Government, they would go to the big industries and get employed. With those certificates, they would be paid good salaries unlike when they do not have certificates."
