    "content": "lecture as if you were actually in Meru Campus in person. So, this will really help in teaching of medicine and it will cut on costs, as I have said. If this is done, it will even help us on how we can use Information Communication Technology (ICT) to also help other sectors of the economy, such as the issue of security. Part of the problems we are having today in security is because we are using rudimental operational and command procedures for security related challenges. So, if we use ICT, you can have the Inspector- General of Police (IGP) running and operation in Mpeketoni from his office in Nairobi and commanding his troops on the ground. This is instead of waiting until the following day because maybe the message has come in the evening; he has to use a chopper; the chopper does not have the navigational capacity to fly at night and, so, you have to wait until the following morning. By the following morning, many people have lost their lives while the thugs and bandits have disappeared into the forests of Kismayu and out of the jurisdiction of Kenya. So, Madam Temporary Speaker, if we use ICT, we can solve not just the health problems, but we can also help to solve security problems; we can also solve problems even in agriculture by providing extension services and farmer education services, which can be given by experienced people from headquarters; not just in Nairobi but even within counties. Counties are also big places and we do not have enough qualified and experienced people to be available to farmers all over. So, Madam Temporary Speaker, through this Motion, I see an entry point for ICT as the next big driver for the economic progress and revival of our country. So, I wholly support this Motion. Time will fail me to say that, as a country, we do not have enough personnel, leave alone in counties, but also in major cities including Nairobi. So, I support this Motion wholeheartedly and, once more, I thank the Mover of this Motion and those who have spoken even before me. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
