    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is the right place for me to speak from, but that time will come. Let me thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion which, I think, has come at the right time. I would like to commend and congratulate Mr. Weya for bringing this Motion to the august House. This Motion is long overdue and it is high time the Government brought a Bill on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in this country. Information is power and a source of wealth. What we have seen happening in so many countries which have adopted ICT is that, they have created wealth. They have engaged their youths in employment, thus reducing idleness among the very active members of the society. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in supporting this Motion, the Government should move fast enough to bring the Bill so that information technology is utilised in this country. We can use electronic technology by distributing electricity. I believe that we can distribute electricity using electronic media so that we can sambaza electricity all over the country. If we can adopt the technology of frequencies using the airwaves, they can, also in the same way, distribute energy to every household in Kenya. Technology that God created man with is the same technology we can use to reach and light every household. ICT is the in-thing now in Kenya and this Government should move to allocate money in the Budget for it, so that more money can be availed to this sector. I would like the Assistant Minister to bring this Bill to this august House so that we can discuss it before the end of this session."
