    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a timely Motion. I wish to thank Mr. C. Kilonzo for bringing it. If he did not bring it, I would have done that. If this law is passed people will have better things to do with their mobile phones rather than writing hate messages, or just making unnecessary calls all the time. I normally get several messages everyday, some of which are not useful and others which are threats. The time I use reading such messages could be used for other useful purposes. Most of the threatening messages are mostly targeted at politicians. I wish that this proposed law is passed fast. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in various instances when I have had an opportunity to travel to other parts of the world, I have not been able to get a SIM card as easily as any person can get one in this country. In those countries, one has to register using a passport, or any other identification, so as to get a SIM card. But in Kenya any visitor, or Kenyan, can just buy a SIM 1030 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 14, 2008 card, and after using it for a call or two, throw it away. That person may have made some calls and caused some harm, or threatened somebody inside or outside the country. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my constituency is not covered by the mobile service providers. I request the Minister concerned to provide mobile services to my constituency, Mandera East. Right now, it is only Mandera Town that is enjoying these services. The interior is very far. There are no proper roads and, probably that is why maybe these mobile service providers are not able to reach those areas. I wish to welcome them to my constituency which comprises of a very large area, including Lafey, Haradhi, Lebedhia and several other regions. There are many people and they would like to communicate to the rest of Kenyans. I request them to take their services there, because we have people who want to do business with the rest of Kenyans. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
