    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other good and great advantage of technology is that it will stifle rural-urban migration. There are people who say that in certain parts of this country, people are not getting children and that some areas are depopulating. I know that Nyeri County is depopulating because of migration of our people to towns. It is not just about the alcohol that my brother, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o would like to imagine. People are moving to towns and leaving the rural areas very bare. Therefore, for us to attract young people to the rural areas and towns that are growing in our counties, we need to create jobs there. The fastest way that we can create these jobs is not just by value adding, as we have planned to do, but also by creating ICT jobs. The advantage of ICT jobs is that they are not just about a question of occupation or our youth having something to do, but they are good value jobs. They create opportunities for people to earn a lot more money than they can in jobs that we create in agriculture and so on."
