    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also congratulate the distinguished Senator for bringing this far sighted Motion. I listened to him as I was driving to the Senate. I was quite impressed with the good knowledge of the subject he has brought to the Floor and the benefits that will come out of the implementation of the Motion. This country is properly wired, at least, with basic highway of fibre optic. The cable has been wired all the way to Malaba, Busia, Namanga and Moyale. This means in between, many critical areas can get connectivity. What we need is a positive deliberate programme to make sure that if county governments have to take over counties meaningfully, then they are connected to the fibre optic cable. I remember in 2008 when Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o and I visited Cuba, a country that has not been talked much about due to American propaganda; It has done so much with so little. In Cuba, 100 per cent of school-going children, from Standard One to university have computers on their desks provided by the state. Each child has a computer without exemption. This is also in areas without national grid power. They have provided alternative power to assist in teaching. I heard Sen. Kagwe talk about someone from John Hopkins Hospital who is a top Mathematician. He has an hour or two each week with all students. He goes to the national connection and teaches Mathematics to relevant classes even if it is to doctors. It may be important to note that Cuba has the highest capacity of doctors in the world, more The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
