    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Member of Parliament for Kamukunji. Many young people my age and those younger than me use internet bundles. There are no corporate social responsibility projects undertaken by these companies for the youth. The youth invest their money in those bundles and when they expire, we do not know what “eats” them at night. You load bundles into your phone and when you wake up in the morning you are told to reload. I do not know what “eats” them at night. We have to look into how these telecom companies use those bundles at night. How do they intend to give back to those who invest in those bundles? What CSR projects are they undertaking for the youth who invest in their bundles? Do they have any plan to train the youth so that they use the internet to their advantage to generate income and for education? We must look into these companies because they are enriching themselves at the expense of active youths. Currently, there are few jobs in the country. Many young people spend a lot of time on their phones. These telecom companies take advantage of that and siphon money out of their phones through bundles. We must look into it. Hon. KJ should work on that issue as the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation and deal with those companies so that they lower the cost of internet. Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only.
