    "content": "Hon. Speaker, one of the highlights of my stay in the Tenth Parliament is when I visited this Ngomeni Centre, the satellite launching centre. The saddest thing about this facility is that much as the University of Rome and the Italian Government have drawn a lot of money from it, the poverty around Ngomeni is unbelievable. I had the privilege to join the Committee which visited this facility during the Tenth Parliament. It is a lost opportunity for our country if such an important facility can be here with us and yet we are not drawing as much benefit as we should from it. I want to agree totally with hon. Onyonka that this matter is so important that we need to engage the relevant Committees of ICT, energy, education and other related ones. This is because space science and satellite technology is important for us in terms of addressing food security issues, maritime issues, flood control and mitigation and so on. We must find a way even if it is not through the Ngomeni Satellite Station, but through a satellite programme that can help us address these issues."
