    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to add my voice to this Bill. I want to support this Bill and also congratulate Hon Osotsi. This is a timely Bill because if you look across the globe, ICT is the order of doing business. In terms of Government, when it comes to access to information and services, we have the E-Citizen platform where our citizens are getting services. Information communication technology is also key to good governance because it is effective, efficient and also holds accountability. It makes business efficient globally. It decreases the demand of face to face meetings and you will recall that during COVID-19, even this House had to resort to ICT in order to transact business using the Zoom application. It also makes it easy for our people to search for jobs and also employers to do recruitment. It reduces transaction costs worldwide and also makes meetings, payrolls and E-education more possible. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we talk of wire-transfer which is happening now and has featured in the Russia-Ukraine War and has shown how arrogant countries can be disciplined in the financial sector using ICT.
