• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Every time some of these Members of National Assembly think about counties, they think about the governor instead of the people of that county. We must create a mechanism of how we will fund these institutions so that they do not become like many of these tertiary institutions that are lying idle. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: I, for example, appreciate what this administration has done with the TIVET. It is useful and a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I was once speaking to two of colleagues from my county who are in the National Assembly. They were arguing about machines that had been sent to one of the TIVET centres. I asked them what the challenge was, they said, “Can you imagine they have sent baking equipment.” They said people would be saying that while one person took mechanical equipment to your constituency, another was asking his people to be bakers and salonists. That is part of culture change and things we need to teach our people. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: From that we learnt that there is need to involve all stakeholders so that people appreciate that indigenous knowledge can never be replicated anywhere else. One cannot sit comfortably in their air-conditioned offices in Nairobi and imagine they know better than the people who live and work in Makueni. They will tell you what they need in their vocational centres because they have identified their needs. For example, they can say they are interested in training in masonry. If they are engaged in coffee growing, they may need people to learn to repair coffee machines. view

• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: down, we have to send for engineers from India because that is where those machines were manufactured. Most of those engineers are graduates of tertiary institutions. This is what we are saying needs to be done. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: We need to learn from Germany. More than 51 per cent of their skilled labour are graduates from these tertiary institutions. Year after year, they ensure these institutions are properly funded and receive the necessary support from the various corporations. They continue to churn out technicians; people who are properly skilled and can be received by the various corporations and institutions because of how important a role they play in setting up the economy of that country. Their economy is a powerhouse because of these people; not white-collar jobs. That is why they have about 40 to 45 per cent ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Each time people talk about an enabling investment climate, skilled labour is one the parameters that people must look for. They just want to know despite the fact that we can give them good taxation and available power, if you have people can do the job right. This is the example that we are learning. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Part IV speaks to the issue of curriculum. This is also extremely important because we do not want to allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to just move around and say I have to create a curriculum of how to be a mason, or do this or the other. These institutions will lack meaning. There is importance and wisdom. I agree with the decision of the Committee for curriculum to also still be standardized.
