    "content": "Finally, I heard the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) discussing network coverage. Some areas in this Republic do not have access to 3G network even though others are on the 5G network. It is important for us to ensure network coverage throughout the country as we head for the General Elections since there will be electronic transfer of results from polling stations and centers. I believe that each and every part of Kenya should access at least a 3G network. Although there is a joke that is normally made that when there is hunger, it takes ages for food to reach the affected person. However, the ballot papers arrive very fast and with ease. I am not saying that other issues such as water and road are not important. However, in protecting the integrity and sacrosanct of the vote, I hope that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the National Assembly, the Committee on ICT and the Ministry of ICT will sit down with the Preparatory Committee and ensure that each and every part of Kenya receives at least 3G network. If you have received one vote in a polling station, it should be recorded as such and not ten votes. If you have received ten votes, it should not be altered to become one vote. We should protect the integrity of the electoral process through ICT. The Sen. Moi led Committee on ICT should fast track some of those issues. I hope that they will give more innovative ideas to ensure that young people benefit from digital content. I know that those of us who believe that kazi ni kazi, when the hustler government takes over, God willing these are some of the digital content that we will harness and create more opportunities to the young people. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
