    "content": "I will now focus on today’s debate on the Technopolis Bill. As you are well aware, all the way from primary school, we teach our children coding skills. Today, almost every primary school including public primary schools, have coding lessons. Students are taught coding right from the time they are young. You will also appreciate that not long ago we did not have smartphones in Kenya. Everyone was just happy to deal with a kabambe, a very small phone on which you would press some buttons, and sometimes the characters would get rubbed off. Sometimes you would not even see the alphabets. But today, even in upcountry, you will hear people talk about touchscreen phones. In my language, they call it tachi . Old men and women in upcountry can now use the smartphones in a way that you would not have thought before. They can communicate and write messages. You will also find many of them now in social media groups. This tells you that people in this country have increased the uptake of technology and they appreciate it very much. Government programmes also seem to move in the same direction. As we speak, we have the ongoing Last Mile Connectivity Project, which seeks to connect every village in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
