    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be brief. I take this opportunity to thank you and the House for exhibiting maturity in today’s business. Allow me to thank you for what happened today. Kenyans are proud of what has been witnessed in the Senate. My contribution on this matter is that, as we accept the Committee on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to join this Committee, I request that we allow the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations to also join them because of the threats we are getting on the ICT installations. There are many external and internal threats in this country that will affect the connectivity of the server. It will be important to have that Committee on board. On the matter that was raised by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., terrorism is a factor in matters of electoral laws. I request that we allow that Committee to be part of the Committee that will Report by 4th January. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ICT is an important aspect because if you look at our country and compare it with Uganda, Ethiopia and many other countries bordering us, the mobile connectivity in those countries has improved. We should take this opportunity to expand the services of Safaricom Limited. I have seen it getting into the corners of Turkana County but it is not enough. We do not want to expect somebody to lose a vote because the system failed. We want every single citizen in this country to be served equally. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
