    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to comment on the Petition by the Hon. Member for Chepalungu. We may need to look more comprehensively at this issue. It appears as if every neighbourhood in our country could be declared an area that needs to be classified as a hardship area. For example, there are several informal settlements in Nairobi where there are schools. One could argue that they deserve to be considered as hardship areas. But to be fair to him and many others, there is a need to investigate and develop a comprehensive plan, which can also give us a picture of which areas are more deserving and which should be declared as hardship areas. The artificial intelligence and robots issue is very important. They impact every aspect of our lives, industries and workplaces. It is the future. We should not be found sleeping or napping on this issue. We should be up there developing legislation, rules and regulations because many jobs will disappear. After all, machines and robots can do them. Artificial intelligence is going to put many people out of jobs. How prepared are we as a country? If we are going to be part of the global economy, our country should be ready and prepared to benefit and create regulations that would serve us well. We should not wait, even for a moment, because artificial intelligence and robots are very important."
