• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: governments to set up these tertiary institutions, there will be uniformity. You will not find that in one county one thing is considered to be a TIVET institute and while in another one, people can sit under a tree and say that it is their version of what they consider to be a TIVET institution. That aspect is important because we have learnt from what happened in the liberation of universities and high school education. You will recall that there was a time that the Ministry of Education, in trying to expand the presence of education centres in this Republic ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: I foresee a challenge in Part III because I have been a Member of the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget for the last two terms in the Senate. We initially used to read in our budget allocation that Kshs2 billion, which was always the standard figure had been set aside for vocational training and colleges. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: We had reversed the plan of things because we first provided the funds without being specific. This money was divided among counties. One would find a county getting Kshs40 million, another Kshs100 million or Kshs70 million, respectively. Governors would pick one or two shady things and just be creative about it. They would pack young people in a particular tertiary institution for one week, pay suppliers and that would be considered as vocational education and training. That was not the intention. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: This Bill now provides a proper legal framework of how counties are going to partner with these institutions to ensure that we provide the requisite skills for our young people. Herein comes a challenge. Where is the money to set up these institutions? We all come from the 47 counties. If we speak to our Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) and governors, you realize the strain that exists in terms of trying to use the amount of funds that we are devolving and match it. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: I see a challenge if we, as Senate continue lumping up counties with various responsibilities without prescribing where this funding to set up these institutions will view

• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: come from given the provisions of Article 114 on Money Bills.This is a challenge, which we as a House must think and find a way creatively advising. We could even set a provision that the CS even for Treasury and Planning will, for example, gazette regulations on how we will raise funds to set up these tertiary institutions. Other countries have set a certain amount of tax paid by various corporations and institutions for training. They understand that if they do not continually train people, it will get to a time where even those institutions will not secure enough technicians ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: We must tax our brains and think critically how to raise funds to establish these intuitions. We understand how budgeting is done and how the country is being run at this time or even for the last eight years. The National Assembly does not seem to appreciate that counties are part and parcel of the Republic of Kenya. A thriving county cannot diminish our standing and stature as Members of Parliament. I struggle every time I engage Members of the National Assembly to distinguish between a governor and a county government. It is possible to dislike a governor because of ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: When such progressive Bills get to the National Assembly they have the powers now to even make additions. If they were to do so, we would quickly agree with that amendment to ensure these institutions are properly funded. However, chances are that they will not do it. They may imagine, “Oh, these are just additional funds we are sending to the counties.” view
