    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, In fact, I am going to address this particular subject next week, that is, the issue of the cost of inter- connectivity. For now, I want to say that in the rest of the world, it is very easy to be able to connect or to transfer from one network to the other network, but because we have enjoyed monopoly for far too long, interconnectivity fees have remained very high. We have discussed this matter with the Minister for Information and Communications to ensure that the cost is made more affordable. Airtel Kenya has invested heavily here in Kenya, and to that extent it is a Kenyan company. We are talking about attracting foreign investment in our country. So, we should not try to discriminate. If we are coming up with an economic rate, it is not only Safaricom Limited that is going to suffer; even Airtel itself will suffer. So, if Airtel can afford it why can Safaricom Limited not afford it? Time has come for Safaricom Limited to, also, face competition."
