    "content": "accessibility and accountability to our citizens and performing our work effectively. I will not go on with that outcome as it is clear in the copies that you have. Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I have made the main point about women and the youth that we must have their voice in our agenda. These are the drivers of our development. If we leave them behind, then our country will not achieve the development agenda. There were other resolutions which were adopted. These resolutions once adopted cannot be changed because they are global. Every country is supposed to obey so that we speak with one voice and all people have the same playing field. Rejuvenating democracy is about modernising the functions of our institutions. Opening up to new technologies makes it possible to usher in a new era of democracy. The exponential increase is the use of modern technologies and social media and access to information which has changed the way citizens participate. Our parliaments must open up to the online world in the structures and mechanisms so as to adapt to the expanded space and time of modern communication, interaction and participation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you see what technology has done for us. It has made the world look like a village. You can communicate without having to take a month or a year to reach somebody. You only need to make a phone call or go online and you will communicate and exchange ideas with other people. I think that resolution was a good one. There are more resolutions but I think they are too many and because of time, I will request all Senators to take time to read these resolutions so that we can have your responses about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) so that we can take back a positive response. I also request that the Ministry on a quarterly or half-yearly basis should update Parliament about the development in counties. These SDGs have been limited to 15 years. So, within that time, we are supposed to achieve these developments. As Members, we should allocate money and assist in the formulation of ideas. If we cannot formulate an idea and implement it, then it means we are not doing a lot of what the expects from us. Thank you. I request Sen. Karaba to Second."
