    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I gave an example of crude oil from Turkana County. We, as Kenyans, how are we prepared to ensure that we have right skills to drill and refine it? As much as we import some skills, how are we handling skills transfer? We are talking about youths who are about 60 to 70 per cent of the population of this country. How are we empowering them to do the right thing? How are we building our students capacity in schools in terms of identifying the right profession from the beginning so that they focus on the right skills that will help them in future? All of us want to do white collar jobs. Some youths are busy looking for jobs for themselves. There are few people who sit in an office and wait for other people to generate business for them to execute it. If the other person commonly known as mtu wamkono who generates the business is not there, what will happen to the accountant, human resource officer and the procurement officer who to sits in office? Since all our training now is geared to towards white collar jobs, how will companies generate business even to create local business? In my view, capacity building for our people is key for industrialisation. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
