    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Information and Technology on the Loon Balloon solar powered internet access project. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Apprise the Senate on the status and location of the 35-loon balloons launched by Loon technology in partnership with Telkom Kenya in July 2020; (2) State the reasons for the reported shut down or discontinuation of this project. (3) Outline, measures if any, that the Ministry of Ministry of Information, Communications and Technology has put in place to provide internet connectivity and 2G coverage to remote areas in Northern Kenya which was supposed to have been taken care of by the loon balloons and tell the House what has happened to date and where we are with the connectivity for Northern Kenya, especially, in Isiolo where we do not have even the basic 2 G; and the balloons that were supposed to overfly this hard to reach regions have now been discontinued. We would like this House to be appraised of the same."
