Tala ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) Jackson Ndaka has urged youth across Matungulu sub county to take advantage of local technical institutes and acquire in-demand skills.
Speaking after a football tournament at Mukalwa organized by Mackenna family in conjunction with area Member of Parliament Stephen Mule, Ndaka said that a lot of youth look down on local technical institutes giving an example of Katine Technical Institute.
He said that with the government’s efforts towards strengthening technical institutes, the youth can acquire skills as great as those in universities.
“Why are you looking down on Katine Technical Institute? Let me tell you that even Machakos University began as a technical institution and grew to become a university,” he said.
“It’s sad that people from outside are benefiting at the institute while our children despise it to the core. Please join these institutes because there is no difference between them and those in Eldoret, Nyeri, Kiambu or even Nairobi,” he added.
