    "content": "As you are aware, when we travelled far to Dubai with our able leadership who is still our able Chairman, we traversed to go to an area where there is a terminal cable in Lifuja, Dubai. We wanted to check and see why Kenyans are paying more money on the area of calling rates. Our Chairperson said that he would work with the current Government on this. The other party told us that it is the Kenyan Government which had not taken the initiative to do a follow up. We walked on foot to see a five metre terminal which is making the Kenyan Government pay a lot of money through Safaricom and all other calling agencies which makes calling rates in Kenya higher. Our Government has not taken the initiative to negotiate with the Dubai based company which is providing the fibre optic from that end. We need to ask our Chairperson to follow up with the relevant Ministry which is headed by the Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Matiangi, who also appears to be very vibrant in the job so that calling rates are lowered to assist Kenyans to make calls to different business avenues. I was happy to serve in this Committee. I commend their job and this is the right way to go in this House. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
