    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker. Hon. Dukisha, requested a Statement regarding telecommunication services coverage in Galole Constituency. In response to the question, the Committee analyzed the question and came up with a response. With your permission, I wish to give the response on behalf of the Committee. The geographical coverage by mobile telephone operators is mainly based on operators’ commitment in their respective licences regarding infrastructure roll out, a factor that is mainly driven by commercial consideration in liberalized market such as Kenya. The mobile network land coverage is yet to reach all corners of the country, with national estimate of mobile land coverage being at about 34.5 percent, implying that a large section of the country, which is about 65.5 per cent still has no communication network. It is expected, therefore, that the Universal Service Fund (USF), which is yet to be established, will address all these issues. The Committee resolved that the response satisfied the Member’s request. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
