    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to at least put on record what I know about Sen. Mutahi Kagwe because we served in the same government. I know as a fact that through his initiative, we started talking about fibre optic. When we began talking about it in the Cabinet, at that time, I was analogue, but from then I tried to be digital because he was speaking above my head but we are now more or less at par. It was his idea to connect Kenya to the world. As at that time, we were not connected to the world. We had to go through other systems before connecting to the United States of America (USA) or elsewhere. Through the initiative of The East African Marine Systems (TEAMS) and through his initiative and drive; where he talked to governments in East Africa, we managed to bring the cable in Mombasa in 2008. That is what we call the under-sea cable. We are now talking about terrestrial cables which will now connect from that cable through Kenya to the other countries in East Africa such as Rwanda, Ethiopia, Uganda and Burundi. 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."
