    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, what the hon. Member is referring to is called optical cables. Those optical cables provide broad-band and bandwidth that is required for proper internet connectivity. I agree with the hon. Member that internet connectivity in this country is very slow. One of the reasons for that is the use of very small bandwidth. Indeed, we are using about 126 kilobytes in Kenya. That is against the world's usage of, at least, one megabyte. However, we are putting some measures in place. Currently, Kenya shares in a project known as the Easy Cable. It is a marine cable from Durban, South Africa, to the port of Mombasa. From there, it will be linking us in the inter-land. Mr. Speaker, Sir, currently, Telkom Kenya has finalised the laying of the cable from Durban to Nairobi. We have gone to tender on that issue and we are also similarly looking at redundancies via a marine cable from Djibouti down the Somali coast into Kenya."
