    "content": "Secondly, I would like to talk about the e-readiness and that touches on my docket in the Government. I would like to talk about e-readiness and innovation and jut to assure the state that part of the policy of the Government is to make sure that this country is provided with enough ICT capacity and infrastructure for ICT or e-readiness so that when you hear about the fibre optic cables in the country and when you hear about our national backbone, it means that you have seen people digging and putting cables all over this country to prepare us for take off in this sector. We are a hub in this region. We are a regional hub in that matter. To add to that, within the month of June, we will be expecting the landing of what we were calling the submarine cables so that they take what we have connected internally to the international arena. So, we will be connected to the international arena with increased broadband capacity. Consequently, speeds for Internet will increase and the cost of doing business in the ICT sector is going to be so low. This is something that we should be taking about instead of haggling over things that simply bring out the worst of our behaviour. We should be appreciating the things that the Government is doing, and that is what was contained in the Presidential Address."
