    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, it is really difficult to contribute after that really somber mood in the House. We want to just send our condolences yet again to Sen. Beth Mugo and her family. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to add my voice to the Motion. I know that it is very easy to contribute to Sen. Kagwe’s Motions. This is because, one, there is usually something that we relate to very well. I know that he had brought on this Floor another Motion on ICT. My prayer would be that these now will be consolidated and put in proper legislation so that execution can start immediately. So, from the outset, I support the Motion. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is very hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Some of us in this House, I know, are really confined to the analogue life, but we must not deny our children that knowledge that we did not have. It is very easy to teach a child how to swim, but try doing that to an adult and do a comparison on the time. I can tell you that there will be a big discrepancy. For me, development does not mean that we stop what has been done already and start afresh. It means to go together. So, that laptop initiative, and I know that the Cabinet Secretary had already launched it, has to continue at the same time. Connectivity must be ensured not only at the county level, but also cascaded down to the ward level. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
