    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Tigania Central Division is currently served by a manual exchange located at Mikinduri Market, which is connected to Meru Automatic Exchange. (b) I am also aware that Karama Market has no telephone service. The market could not have been served from Kianjai Automatic Exchange because of the distance; nor could it have been served from Kangeta Manual Exchange due to transmission limitations. (c) Telkom Kenya is taking urgent measures to serve Mikinduri and Karama Markets from Nyambene Hills using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), which is a wireless technology in the rural telecommunication development project, whose engineering survey has just been completed. Once served, the markets will enjoy STD telephone facilities, fax, data and internet access services. The project is expected to be completed within the next 12 months. As for public booths, the technology that we intend to use to provide services in those areas will enable small businesses to set up their own pay-phones such as simu ya jamii . It is not in the interest of Telkom Kenya to compete with small enterprises in retail telephone services."
