So, we need to supply them with computers to enable them access more information and also enable the public to access information they discuss in their chambers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would also like to talk about the media. We need to support the media so that they are able to work hand in hand with the county government to enable people access information. We know very well that the media oversights the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
