    "content": "we have seen Americans in exile because there were individuals who were handling the information system of their country and they have sold it out. This has caused serious diplomatic issues to the American Government. I am doing this in references to the Wikileaks and the officer who leaked the information is hiding in Russia. It is an American fellow who gave the intelligence reports. I want to say that Safaricom is a company we have a lot of respect for and must come good in its obligation as a responsible entity. Kenyans are not enjoying quality network. Kenyans are not enjoying networks in places where the services are needed very much. I represent Balambala Constituency in the rural areas. That particular constituency and many other constituencies in Kenya have problems in communications. Whereas we know that Safaricom is under obligation to ensure that it provides a reliable network, those areas need Safaricom services so that it can save lives of Kenyans when they can communicate on emergencies in rural places. Safaricom must step up its operations in northern Kenya. It is not doing a good job in almost the entire five wards in my own constituency; starting with Sankuli Ward, which is nearest to Garissa Town. There is a huge installation of Safaricom hardware in Garissa Town. All the bordering constituencies in northern Kenya and my constituency are not enjoying reliable network. The reality we know is that, that company is making billions of shillings. I find this unfair. I want to say that this report indeed, in as far as it recommends that, that project must be awarded or the Government should proceed to award that project, I cannot support it in its current form. I must say that as a responsible House, we should not get into the business of approving Government projects that have failed to meet the test of our Constitution. Thank you."
