    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to appreciate that in the Statutes Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, I actually fast-tracked some of the proposals here so that they are part of the law. So, at the Committee Stage, we will have to dispense with those ones as well. But the point that I want to make, and want it to be loud, is that while we protect the telecommunication infrastructure, there are areas in this country which hear about telecommunication infrastructure as if it is rocket science, the story of Apollo 11 going to the moon or Neil Armstrong. I want to urge my Chairman to put as much seal that the infrastructure is so basic that northern Kenya in particular, should not remain behind in the 21st Century in terms of telecommunication infrastructure, the way we have remained behind in terms of the physical infrastructure, like the roads. We should be able now to compensate ourselves because in telecommunications, we can deal with mobile telephony which does not need that particular infrastructure that you are talking about so that these areas of Kenya, some of which are agitating for separation--- These are the kind of issues that contribute to people entertaining the kind of notion that should not be entertained in this country. I have many people who climb trees to be connected to a network when they look for the Member of Parliament. In the process of the conversation, they may forget and slip, fall and injure themselves. So, chances of protecting life are slim."
