    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Allow me to thank the following Hon. Members who have made good suggestions on this Bill. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has been the seconder. He has discussed the issues of mobile libraries, which Sen. Shakilla has echoed. This is a good suggestion that we need to consider. A number of areas within our counties cannot get these libraries. Even if we are going to establish the libraries, as per the request by Sen. (Prof) Kamar, we will still not have libraries within the various wards in the country because of the resources. Mobile libraries will play a key role in ensuring that Kenyans have access to libraries. Sen. Omogeni talked about the appointment of the committees being done through either a selection panel or the Public Service Board. He also talked about Clauses 9(2), where he spoke about the removal of the committee and suggested that it be given a fair hearing but not decided by the governor. I also want to thank Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. She has talked about the establishment of these libraries, at least in every ward. It would have been good for us to have a library in every ward, but because of the resources, the issue of mobile libraries within the counties will at least play the role that the Bill is aiming to play. There is also the issue of developing the languages, which she pushed forward, and I agree with that. I thank Sen. Kinyua and Sen. Osotsi, who have also spoken about issues of technology. I also thank Sen. Shakilla Abdalla and Sen. Gataya Mo Fire. Despite the fact that they have talked about the digital platform, there are a number of issues that are also affecting it because a number of them might not have the gadgets and even the internet to access them across the country. I beg to reply."
