    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to second the amendment because out there, we know REA may have the chance of actually giving some areas electricity. As we all know, we come from various constituencies. The laptop programme needs to have electrification in primary schools and, where possible, they can extend it to secondary schools and trading centres. That way, if you want to repair anything, you can go to the nearest place. So, I second the amendment knowing that if REA is given the direction, it will distribute the Kshs7.8 billion equitably throughout the constituencies. At the same time, it is also important to note that when you go to Europe, for example, you are told that you come from a dark continent because most of our rural areas are not electrified. We are all in darkness. This programme will light even the nearest trading centres. It will stimulate youth activities like welding and making steel doors, windows and things like those. So, if it is distributed evenly, it will help the youth to create employment at that level. They will be engaged in meaningful activities at the constituency level. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to add to that, centres of excellence where the Kshs5 million is being allocated, is a good idea. I support the idea because there is a school in my constituency which is a centre of excellence and, because of that, children actually clamour to go to that particular school.
