    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg move:- THAT, the Motion be amended by deleting the words “and further urges all county governments to provide budgets to supplement mobile telephone providers to develop mobile telephone networks in areas deemed not economically viable. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Motion now will read as follows: THAT, aware that mobile telephone communication plays a major role in the social and economic development of any nation; acknowledging the positive role mobile telephone providers have played in providing communication and other related benefits to our country; noting with concern, however, despite these efforts, mobile telephone penetration in Kenya still remains at less than 50 per cent which is a major constrained development particularly in the rural areas. The Senate urges the national government to provide a policy framework for partnership with the private telephone network providers to provide mobile telephone services to hitherto neglected parts of the country with a view to ensuring that 100 per cent mobile telephone penetration is attained in Kenya by 2017. 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."
