    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker for that observation. We have passed many Motions but one wonders what will happen after all this exercise is done. I remember in the Ninth Parliament when I was a Member of Kirinyaga Central, I moved a Motion requesting the Government to make sure that all secondary schools introduce computer teaching as a subject. This was passed and as a result of that, very many schools have been connected to power. Probably, that is what has led to the increase of people with added technological skills related to computers. That notwithstanding, we need now to ask ourselves for how long we should keep on talking. After that talk what happens? Do we have a committee which will sit down and come up with Motions and Bills which have been passed not only in the Senate, but also in the National Assembly, to make sure that they are implemented? This is one of the Motions that should have been passed yesterday. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have very many Committees moving round. We had one on Education moving round the counties. It will even move to Western Kenya including Kakamega, Kisumu and Bungoma so that we can familiarize ourselves with what happens in those counties and many others. We are about to proceed on recess and I am sure that many other Committees will move out. Some of them will travel outside the country. When they travel outside the country, they visit countries which were in the state in which we are now here in Kenya. I believe that some of them will go to Korea and others to Malaysia, Japan, India, China, Vietnam and so forth. These are the countries which, given their history, have struggled as much as we have, but have taken off very fast. Why is it that Kenya, after 50 years, has not been able to take off? The problem is 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."
