    "content": "communicate at the same time provide a lot of data which would, otherwise, not be available in the normal way in which we communicate now. We have been talking of areas, especially those where we can get a lot of employment in this country and, one of those is in outsourcing. I have an example in which many companies in America want to outsource in Kenya and in many things. Sometimes if your bag gets lost in an airport as mine got lost in Montreal one time, when I was trying to find out where my bag was, I was speaking to somebody in India, when I was in Ottawa. I realized that that did not sound like a Mzungu . They told me that they were in Bombay. I was wondering how my bag could have gone to Bombay, but actually, it was outsourcing. They have said that Kenya is good in outsourcing in one way. Our people here speak good English, that we do not have summer and winter and somehow we can do things at night, including accounting and offload it to America when they are working. We do it here during the day when they are sleeping and transfer it to them during the morning when we are sleeping ourselves. Kenya would have been a good place to do outsourcing, but they cannot outsource without this FOC networking because it is too expensive to communicate to Kenya. I am glad that the professor being a medical person has decided to narrow it down to medicine, but I know that it could do a lot more in outsourcing for business, E-learning and make it cheaper and could do just as good in telemedicine. Madam Temporary Speaker, one of the Members of the County Assembly (MCA) in my county, the MCA for Karachuonyo, is a gig of ICT and he was trying to connect the Kendu Mission Hospital to the world so that when doctors do their operations in Kendu Mission Hospital, they can be assisted by professionals in America and India. I do not know whether he is successful, but he has been talking about it a lot. But without this FOC, it will be too expensive to do what he is trying to do. I think the Government already spent a lot of money in connecting almost all counties, but as he says, they stalled at the last mile. I think that moving to Homa Bay Hospital just after reaching Homa Bay Town is shorter than a mile and connecting the Government offices, even the Governor’s offices and many other Government facilities would be a benefit to this country and even to some schools and colleges. With proper ICT in this country, even the cattle rustling which we are talking about causing war in Baringo would be something of the past, because you can only steal if you can sell it and get money. But if ICT is properly used and chips are properly used, you would not steal because you would not have a market. Some of these things can be sorted out by ICT very easily. Before my time expires, let me come to diagnosis one more time. In fact, diagnosis is the reason some of us die before their time. If you have malaria and it is diagnosed as something else, you are dead. This is because by the time the doctor realizes that it is malaria, you are already gone. This has happened in many ways because some diagnostic equipment is just not working properly or some consultants need to sit down at what we call teleconferencing and discuss what procedure they can use. Sometimes to put three consultants together in one room is very expensive because they are very busy and they are operating in many places. But if you can put them together to teleconference in a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
