    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, my final contribution is the following. One, the policy framework that is to be developed – and that stems from the Act that we passed in Parliament in 2008 – goes much further. This debate of opening up communication to the people goes back to the 1990s when we started discussing the Kenya Communications Act. If you go to the HANSARD – I think that Sen. G.G. Kariuki will remember – it is at that point in time that people were really concerned with reducing the price of access to telephones in this country. We did not have mobile telephony then, but the moment policies were there that allowed the private sector to invest, prices started coming down. So, what this Motion should aim at is: What should we do even now to make sure that prices come down substantially enough, so that the poorest fellow in the rural areas can have access to mobile telephony? That should be the major question in this Motion. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
