    "content": "Lastly, allow me to support the Statement by Sen. Kibwana. I support it from the perspective that as the ambassador and advocate of digital literacy in this country, it is important that the digital infrastructure, especially in the public service with regard to the hardware sector and software. It is key that the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) should be able to put out and indicate at what level it is at and what kind of networks are in place. I note because as the Kenya Kwanza Government, our biggest focus is to ensure we go digital. Rwanda has done it. We are still focusing on that. When we came into Government one year ago, the services were at about 321 E-services. As I speak, there are over 15,000 services. The target is over 50,000 services. However, for these E- services to blossom and achieve what is needed to be achieved, then it is important to know the level of digital infrastructure that we have. The skills that are needed is an important aspect because public servants should be equipped with the digital literacy that it needs to ensure services are easily delivered and minimise the time one uses to move from one place to another. This is because you can sit back and get the E-government services that are in a place. I also note the e-farming that the President is focusing on through the digital focus. The other day, we were able to pass the Universal Health Care (UHC) Bill which has also the Digital Health Bill as is a key Bill that will reduce paper work in hospitals and ensure that we have these systems. Data security is an important factor. With those few remarks, I support."
