    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) is a critical component in effective service delivery in all sectors of our economy; further aware that the fibre optic backbone (FOB) is already laid in most counties; appreciating that advanced medical equipment is now available in county medical institutions; acknowledging that medical diagnosis and care is critical and costly; concerned about the shortage of medical personnel trained in various specialties in the health sector; cognizant of the beneficial role of telemedicine in consultations irrespective of the physical location of consultants; the Senate urges the National Government to provide fibre optic connectivity to referral and level 4 and 5 public hospitals in all counties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are all aware of the significant role that ICT plays in our daily lives and the lives of institutions. It has broken all the barriers of time and distance in our communities and societies where we live. It has proven itself as being very capable in a wide applicability in all sector of the economy, social life and all the other sectors in today’s societies. So, ICT is so crucial and important that it should be incorporated in all other aspects of our lives."
