    "content": "is for them to answer to questions that are of concern to the people and also use the opportunity to expound on Government policy and what the Government is doing. It has been my belief, and, maybe, the Cabinet Secretary will work to change that belief in me, that personification of bureaucracy and lethargy in Government operations resides in the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. If you listened to the answers pertaining to the issues to do with bandits and now as I listen to the Cabinet Secretary answer the Question on slow printing of forms, I hear him telling us forms are slowly being printed by the Government Printer because of challenges of modernisation and low staff levels in that office. When I listen to the President, who has hired the Cabinet Secretary, he is talking about digitisation. I really want to know from the Cabinet Secretary, where do you sit in terms of implementing the policy on digitisation of Government services? You cannot be talking about low levels of staff while we are also complaining of a huge wage bill in the Public Service. When the President is telling us about digitisation, the Cabinet Secretary is telling us that he is modernising printing. Should we not be getting the B1 forms in a digital format? I can see Principal Secretary for Citizen Services seated there. I have engaged him on a unique identifier system that seeks to capture data of new-born children electronically. But now the Cabinet Secretary is telling us about modernising the Government Printer, hiring efficient people and leasing instead of buying new equipment. Cabinet Secretary, you must tell us where you sit. Are you aligned to the President’s agenda to digitise Government services or not? It is that simple. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
