    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to follow up on a statement I sought on 24th April, 2024 regarding the status of the Kenya Digital Economy Acceleration Project that is funded by the World Bank. I would like the Chairman, Hon. Kiarie, to listen because I was promised that a response would be brought to this House after two weeks. After waiting for three months without getting a response, I rose on a point of order and reminded the House that there was a statement requested that had not been responded to. Again, the Chairman, Hon. Kiarie, promised that he would bring a response to the House in one-and-half weeks’ time. Two months later, I hereby rise again to remind him that the two weeks he had requested for have since lapsed, but he is yet to respond to my request. This is a weighty issue because the money involved, which is US$390 million, was meant for the last-mile connectivity to the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). That money has either vanished or simply no response is supposed to be given. Can I be informed whether or not there is a response so that I can restructure my statement request into a question with more facts and present it to the House? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
