    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is quite short. The objective of the Fund is to support widespread access to communication services and compliment the private sector initiatives by subsidizing the cost of ICT infrastructural out and expansion to served and unserved areas of the country. The ultimate intervention is to ensure that all citizens including those of Samburu County including Sere Olipi have access to communication services as enshrined in the Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the establishment of the organs that will manage the USF is in the process and we shall thereafter begin the implementation of the universal surface projects using the Fund. In addition, the Ministry through the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) is considering the option of reviewing network rollout obligations to the existing mobile operators as a pre-condition for the renewal of their licenses upon expiry to include coverage of areas that are yet to be served in order to ensure that there is greater equitability in the distribution of resources in the county governments as envisaged in the new Constitution. Thank you."
