    "content": "behalf of this House and the Committee, I am appealing to the National Treasury Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Henry Rotich, and the National Assembly that is charged with the responsibility of overseeing the budget process to think very hard about the implementation of a viable ICT Ministry as they allocate money.They should also look at all the areas that ICT can assist and how to implement ICT solutions to the many challenges that Kenya has. I am sure that Kenya will be a very proud nation if we can give sufficient allocation to this Ministry just the way we are proud of M-pesa when we go out of this country.The team that was in Japan was very proud when they said that Kenya was the first country on earth to launch a mobile money transfer system. We are so proud to make such a statement, but it is getting old. M-pesa will be ten years old next year. We cannot keep on singing the same song over and over. The time has come for us to do other things that we can also say that Kenya is the first country in the world to implement. When we do so, we will create the kind of confidence to make Kenya an ICT investment destination for those companies dealing with ICT globally. With those few remarks, I beg to move that the Senate adopts the report and ask Sen. (Prof.) Lesan to second the Motion."
