    "content": "budget. As a Government, it is important to budget for anything that is related to information to Kenyans. The reason why we are talking about information or new technology is because we want Kenyans to know what is happening on issues of resource allocation and even our Constitution. Let me talk about the roles of Senators and Members of the National Assembly and those of Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). Many people do not know the roles of these leaders. I do not know whether it is because as Members of Parliament (MPs), we are used to going to the community to fundraise to the extent that Kenyans do not know the roles of MPs and MCAs. The same information should be disseminated to communities though technology. My two concerns are that all counties should embrace technology and be concerned about setting a budget for the same. They should also have specific officers to deal with civic education of all kinds so long as it is something that is touching the lives of Kenyans. I take this opportunity to thank the Chairperson of this Committee for visiting counties to see what is happening in the departments of ICT. I also encourage them to make sure that their resolutions are implemented to the letter. With those few remarks, I support the Report."
