    "content": "infrastructure, they will publish all those things in their websites rather than putting them through advertisements. There, again, the cost factor goes down. Fourth, the most important thing about having fibre optic, in my view, is to have electronic revenue collection. One of the biggest challenges facing the county governments is revenue collection. There is a lot of pilferage and revenue loss due to the manual systems which are used in collecting, receipting and accounting for these revenues. Many counties have advertised for software that will allow them to electronically collect revenue. For them to do so, they need to have a stable system. Fibre optic is one of those things that will provide that stability in the network. Lastly, the point I want to emphasise and what the Motion talks about is; linking all county headquarters to relevant national institutions, including the Senate. That is important. We want to interrogate what is going on in the county governments and we want to deal with the county assemblies, but there is no connection. We are not in an age where you should be writing letters and posting them by mail. It becomes very difficult to share. Institutions that are supposed to have a close relationship with the county assemblies cannot do it due to lack of connectivity. Therefore, it is important for us to have a treasury that can disburse monies and monitor activities of the county governments. The county treasuries are facing the same challenges due to lack of connectivity. I want to strongly support this Motion. We cannot continue to use the current network. We need to have fibre connectivity in all the county headquarters so that county governments can work as required. I support."
