    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also want to encourage the hon. Member that the same standards we are trying to put in this sector should also apply to the telecommunication providers themselves. For instance, when they are bringing or replacing telecommunication gadgets, they are usually very careless like when they are putting fibre cables, a lot of times, they open up the ground, they leave it and you further endanger the lives of people. You can cause accidents; people can fall and hurt themselves. I am saying this because right outside my house, they have done that and you do not know who is coming to cover that. It is possible for even terrorists to come and dig up places outside your house and say that they are telecommunication providers. So as much as we want to regulate the jua kali artisans, we must also bring discipline in the telecommunications; that you do not just say that because you are bringing telecommunication, we can mess roads or around people’s homes and we do not care whether we replace. That is the culture of impunity that this country must stop and it is the same culture that I have said that we want to pass so many Bills."
