"content": "would use a different method to send an alarm to the rest within the villages. They would convey information of the imminent threat and save lives. This is something that we are crying for. I hope that the governors will also look at it more critically. We have only pushed them on how to account to Treasury but we also need to push them on the issue of connectivity so that they can digitize systems for revenue collection. The Government has now moved ahead, we are using internet to ensure that tenders go through. So, if some parts of the country are not connected, it means that women and youth might not have an opportunity to participate in the tendering process. We have moved away from people just looking at newspapers but also embraced usage of the little gadgets we have. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a very good Motion. It is a Motion that the Senate should take seriously, and Senators should go to their counties and ask the governors to implement it. We have the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) cards and if we are connected, you will be treated anywhere. Even if you lose the NHIF card and hospitals are connected, they will just search it and every detail will be displayed. Sen. (Prof.) Lesan has thought beyond and has done well for our country but it is now our duty to go and create more awareness to the governors. We need to tell the governors that if the counties have to move in the right direction, then they need to digitize their operations. This will ensure that everything is transparent and accountable. Digitization will ensure that we spend less and offer effective services. If this happens, nobody will lay blame on the governors because all information will be available on the net. When that happens, activities being undertaken by every department in the counties will be seen and all questions will be addressed. We should strive to move towards the direction of the western countries in terms of technology. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
