    "content": "If you go to Gikomba, you will find that those people produce metal boxes and wheelbarrows. These are things many of them learnt on their own. What if they had an added advantage of having gone through formal training and formal education, giving them skills? This is an area that Dr. Jwan will help us actualise. We are talking of manufacturing. You do not need PhDs in engineering and manufacturing. You need technologies and technicians. The PhD and master’s degree holders design things but the actual doing is by technicians. That is why you will hear people saying that engineering graduates from our universities cannot work in industries. This is because people are employing them as technologists and technicians. That is not what they are trained to do. We have manufacturing as one of the President’s Big Four Agenda, which cannot be successful unless we have someone leading in that department that will do that.
