    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will remember that in the previous government, there was talk of Nairobi being connected by fibre and a security system being put in place. We are aware this is an issue being debated all over with court cases upon court cases. There is a waste of time when we know that Kenyans are under threat. Therefore, when we talk about connection of fibre, we are not just talking about connection of the fibre cable as an end in itself. We are talking about fibre connectivity as a means to an end. That end includes the facilities that we will create in our schools and so on. There is no better way of equalizing our society than the way we can use technology. If we connect a school in Marsabit County, for example, to the fibre optic cable, it will be exactly the same as a school somewhere in Nairobi County, no matter how nice the school is. If we connect the same to Kwale County, it will be equal to a school connected to fibre in Nyeri County. Therefore, considering that the role of the Senate is to try and equate counties as much as possible, then it behooves us to ensure that this project is completed."
