• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: We need to align the county development plans to the needs of the capacity of the county. From there, we will look for what we need. Do we need skills in building construction, power and energy generation, water distribution, large public works, agro processing and hospitality? Is there any other value we can add to the oil production in Turkana or the mining in Kwale? view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Our legislation must be aligned to these kinds of strategies for socio-economic development because it is not an end to produce 1,000 people who have certification but do not have the requisite skills for specific needs of the county. It could be agro processing, hospitality or value addition to our mining industry and solar projects. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: I congratulate them for making sure that they mentioned the need to have Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integrated into all our trainings. It can be an area for quality improvement, technology transfer and innovation, and could also be an area that would definitely add value to e-learning and the future of our pedagogy. view
• 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: Madam Temporary Speaker, technical training in itself does not ensure that we have jobs. It is what we do with the skills and how aligned the skills are. If in Isiolo County we are training for the hospitality industry because we want to be a resort city, we must build flexibility into these trainings. This is so that as things change and we start moving towards solar energy and, the Lamu Port-South-Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor comes to our neighbourhood, we can flexibly integrate some of these things. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: As I finish, one of the things that we need to look at in terms of the capabilities and capacities, is making sure that education systems, quality improvement and technological improvement is not just left to the county, but aligned with the national Government, so that our counties have the same quality standards as opposed to everybody having different standards. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I thank you for giving me the opportunity. I look forward to the implementation of this Bill. The capacity that it has is to change the minds of the people so that we do not look at technical and vocational education as inferior. In countries like Canada, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology is one of the places where students do not even finish college before the industry starts to grab them. What partnerships do we have with the private sector? What partnerships do we have with the private sector? Should we be ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: I hope those kinds of things can be built into this legislation so that we start encouraging our industry to be part of this journey. This is going to be a very good piece of legislation that is going to turn our country around and provide employment and add value to all the things we need to make sure our counties are thriving. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I congratulate my Committee and cede the rest of my time. view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was a Member of the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. I can vouch and confirm that Sen. Mwangi is one of the most hardworking chairmen I know. One time when he had to make sure that the communities get their service, he actually got hit by a boda . He did not use the vehicle because there was so much traffic, the communities were coming in the afternoon and he had to give answers to them. I am in awe of his hard work and the good work that he has done. ... view
