    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on the Petition by one Mr Patrick on power, and the issue of the digital economy. The world is now a global village, and we need to align Kenya to the global village. Whereas Patrick has mentioned the issue of amending the law to align it with existing infrastructure, it is also important that we look at the institutions that are empowered to provide the support. How are they charging customers? Are we going to give them power to continue over-charging customers? Look at an instance where a telecommunications company gives instructions on how much is supposed to be spent and if you do not spend it, it is neither an unclaimed financial asset and it ends up in the books of the company. Therefore, this is an issue that the departmental committee needs to look at in totality. It is not just about looking at enacting laws for the establishment of those institutions, but also how to cushion Kenyans from expenses on that. On the Petition on Rachuonyo North, all of us seem to be in the same shoe, wondering what is happening with the TSC. In a constituency like Navakholo where I come from, teachers are not retained simply because the nearest town is 40 kilometres away. How do you decide an area is a hardship area or not? Whereas we support the Petition, we also need the TSC to clearly tell us how it classifies hardship areas. Does my constituency qualify? If not, how do we retain teachers in such sub-counties? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the two petitions."
