    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I want to take this opportunity to thank Sen. David Musila who is my neighbour. Kitui County and Tharaka-Nithi counties are neighbours. Some of the things, if not all of them, that he has spoken about are situations that I am familiar with. These are the difficulties that some of the areas in this country are facing in terms of accessing mobile telephone network. This is a very important Motion to this Senate, despite the strenuous effort by my brother, the Senator for Vihiga, to project that with regard to the Act of 2008, this Senate should not be concerned about the equalization of our country in terms of mobile telephony network. If there is a role that this Senate must keep on reminding itself about, it is the role of ensuring that the country is equal. That is why it is “the Senate”. That is why some of these people who are arguing about what Senate is doing and its role have missed the point by a wide margin. Our business is not to compete with other organs of governance or other legislative organs in all the agenda. Our business is simple. It is to make sure that progressively our country can access similar levels of development. To me, that is what will basically make this country stable. The other worry I hear coming from some of the contributors who have stood here, especially my brother, the bull fighter who has been reminded that he can use mobile telephony to organize his bull fights, is that the country is moving towards partnership between the Government and the private sector. There is nothing secret and 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."
