    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am not absolutely convinced with the response given because it is superficial. My first question was about why people have not benefited. The reason given that the Council has just been formed is not enough. This is because the USF was put in place as per the Kenya Information Communication Act in 2010. From then on up to now, 2013 we are waiting for the operationalization of this fund. It is true that I found out that the Council was established in March. However, even between March, 2013 and now, November, 2013 it is a long time and people are suffering. The Ministry and service providers are wrangling and so this Fund is not likely to benefit the intended beneficiaries. Hon. Speaker, therefore, that Statement is not convincing and it does not touch on the real facts. On the second answer where it is determined, I am also aware that some of the big providers like Safaricom, Zain, the Ministry and the CCK are wrangling. When two bulls fight, it is the grass which suffers; the people are suffering. I would like the Chairman of the Committee to clearly identify the problem and give us the way forward."
