"content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, I saw something online, which I think was in India or Bangladesh, where people are using solar lighting and creating a grid in a village by inter- connecting their own solar panels across their village. That is the beauty of technology that we must harness to ensure that we leverage on the innovations of our young people in this country. This will ensure there is competitive trade in our economy and that, at the end of the day, the ordinary Kenyan is able to access either services or products at the cheapest possible cost, including data and airtime. As much as I do not like Elon Musk, he promised us that with time, we will be able to make emergency calls for free by converting our cell phones to satellite phones. That is the kind of innovation and technology we want so that I do not have to pay three shillings per minute for airtime that could be free for heaven's sake. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this nomination, but I ask Mr. David Kemei to make sure that the Competition Authority of Kenya has teeth to bite, ensure Kenyans get value for their money, and that all industries are competitive. Thank you."
