    "content": "The issue of ICT and moreso, the fibre optic is the fastest way that our country can realise Vision 2030. If we do not pay a lot of attention to ICT and especially the expansion of infrastructure, Vision 2030 will be Vision 3020. Since African countries, including Kenya, are not very good at inventing, but copying what has been invented in another world, I think we better fast-track our copying to the fast lane. The fast lane now is what we are talking about today. In fact, if we fast-track fibre optic, we will be able to develop so fast that we will catch up with countries that were at our level during Independence, but have so far left us behind. We can only catch up with those countries if we embrace fibre optic. While I fully support the laptop project, I was wishing that the Jubilee Government should have taken the issue of fibre optic as its flagship project and then the laptop project be part of this. It would have been much broader because it is an infrastructure that would affected all spheres of life in both urban and rural Kenya."
