Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support and seek approval of this policy. It is a tragedy in this country that many years after we gained our Independence, we have not had a comprehensive policy on industrial training. This is the first time that it is coming. That is why we need to look into it and probably approve it very fast. It is also very bad that it has been with us since 2013 and we have not approved it. There is a trend that is arising in this House, where we come up with ...

out there. It is possible for a person in those professions to go directly from college and work because they are properly prepared. We need to improve this policy by making it obligatory to mass employers to take in a certain number of trainees for industrial attachment against certain incentives from the Government. We have a massive output in tertiary colleges, but they are not productive. We also need to put policy in the area of budget. We need to take care of the current budgetary constraints in the National Industrial Training and Attachment (NITA). We also need to increase ...

Ahsante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Ningependa kuichangia Hoja hii na kumshukuru yule ambaye ameileta ili tuweze kujadili Ziara ya Rais Obama. Historia ilifanyika wakati Rais Obama alichaguliwa mara ya kwanza. Yeye ni kama Rais wengine, lakini kuchaguliwa kwake kuliwapatia matumaini watu wengi sana. Hata mimi nikapata matumaini kuwa chochote ambacho unaangazia, ukitia bidii na uwe na nia, utapata njia na utafikia hapo. Nimefurahi kuwa Rais Obama amesaidia nchi ya Kenya kurudisha ule urafiki ambao ulikuwepo hapo awali kati yetu na Marekani na nchi za magharibi. Hilo ni jambo ambalo limenifurahisha sana. Kwa muda mrefu tangu Serikali ya Jubilee ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. It is regrettable that despite the wisdom of the Tenth Parliament which knowing the habits of Kenyans to procrastinate and fail to keep timelines, was very specific that it wanted this job in its assessment to be completed by 28th March, 2013.

Obviously, we are two years and several months down the line and this job has not been completed. I have no hesitation to blame the Vetting Board. Obviously, they did not have proper plans. They took advantage of the situation and have been probably earning income two years beyond what they should have earned.

I feel for the 29 judicial officers who have not been vetted because first, probably they were not promoted. Secondly, they have been living in anxiety for that period because they do not know what will be their fate after they are vetted. That is why the Tenth Parliament had given us these timelines.

If the 29 judicial officers went to court against this Vetting Board, they can probably earn some damages especially on lost opportunity and anxiety. I wish to sanction the Board for their level of productivity. Throughout this period they have been unable to do what they were supposed to do.
