    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) We are not putting up new national polytechnics, but upgrading eight existing technical training institutions to the national polytechnics as follows:- 1. Meru Technical Training Institute, 2. Machakos Technical Training Institute, 3.Nyeri Technical Training Institute, 4. Mombasa Technical Training Institute, 5. Sigalagala Technical Training Institute, 6. Kitale Technical Training Institute, 7. North Eastern Province Technical Training Institute, and, 8. Gusii Institute of Technology. The criteria used in identifying the regions were as follows:- (i) Existing Technical Training Institutions, (ii) The Institute must be far from existing national polytechnic. Nairobi Province did not benefit because it has access to a number of institutions, including Kenya Polytechnic University College, which also offers training programmes similar to those in national polytechnics. (b) Nyakach could not be considered for upgrading since there was no existing technical training institution in the region. We were considering only one training institution in each province. However, the Ministry is considering other regions for building new technical training institutes, including Nyakach, subject to availability of funds."
