    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, I led a delegation of 12 Kenyan technocrats to Egypt to look at the ICT development there since they are very advanced. We visited the equivalent of our ITC Park and various ICT institutions. The Government of Egypt took good care of us. They welcomed us and gave us all the information that we needed. I must congratulate that Government for what it did. On Friday when we were supposed to come back, it was not the fault of the Government that we were unable to get to the airport. Everybody was concerned about our security. When we crossed the city to approach the airport, we came across serious barricades, road blocks, tear gas, police and everybody on the highway. So, we could not make it to the airport. We attempted with a lot of difficulty to get back to the hotel. It took us almost two hours to get back to the hotel. When we got back to the hotel, we found that all our rooms had been taken up through long distance booking. Fortunately, the people who were supposed to occupy the rooms did not show up because they could not even reach the hotel. In fact, on that Friday, even the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs was at the airport."
