    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, just to inform Sen. Khaniri, Safaricom Ltd is a public entity largely owned by Kenyans – taxpayers. As much as their interest is making profit, I think some of those profits can be diverted to ensure that these services get to some of these areas as catalysts for growth. If you want to grow these areas, you must provide them with electricity, communication and build infrastructure. Just because an area has been marginalized, it does not mean that in the scheme of business particularly of public entities like Safaricom Ltd, they should marginalize these areas further because they cannot maximize on profit. I think these are some of the areas in which commerce and things like basic needs should take root. We have gotten to a point in our lives today where mobile telephony andWi-Fi are almost becoming a basic right because it allows you access to very many other rights. You will find that you are asked to register online or go online to get forms. So, to access many other rights, it means that we must reach out to our brothers and sisters in areas that have been hitherto marginalized. Therefore, I think it is important for that directive to be effected with immediate effect."
