    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have not been to North Karachuonyo and, therefore, I believe I am not best placed to comment on that Petition at this time. I will wait until the relevant Committee brings its report. This is a matter that can also be picked by the Departmental Committee on Education. I believe the Petition is because of the benefits that teachers derive from the areas gazetted as hardship areas. On the Petition in respect of amending the ICT Act, I believe there are two sets of Petitions: general investigative petitions, and petitions that provoke amendments of the law. In this case, since there is a committee mandated by the Standing Orders as the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation, I believe your wisdom will find that this Petition is best placed under the relevant Committee that is supposed to deal with amendments of the law. Otherwise, all those other general investigative petitions would be best placed before the Committee on Public Petitions. I support because the ICT area is dynamic. There is always some confusion arising in the digital space. It would be proper for the Committee to be reviewing the Act annually for the purposes of amendments that may be necessary."
