    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I think if we have an interactive information portal for the whole country, it will be one of the ways to try and fight the cancer of illiteracy which has dogged our country for a long time. As I walk around the countryside, I have noted that many problems that we have between Kenyan communities come as a result of misinformation. I remember that there is a day I was talking to one hon. Member and I told him the need for us to be more open minded in the way we go about electing our leaders, for instance. The impression he gave me is that he believes that if some communities in Kenya ascend to the presidency, even if you meet somebody relieving himself, they would tell you that you must wait until the Government finishes relieving itself. I think that kind of misinformation is what we need to erase from our minds and we can do that by using this information to particularly highlight the positive attributes of the different cultures of the Kenyan people. That way, we will be driving towards a lasting communal cordiality among our people and we will be driving towards achieving long lasting national cohesion. That one can only be possible if this information can be made available."
