    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Murkomen needs to look more clearly at the Oxford Dictionary for the meaning of the word “excitement.” He might find that he is wrong. I was addressing myself to the issue, for instance, of e-citizen. We appreciate that there is corruption in this country. However, it is also important to appreciate the effort the Government is making towards ending this. The Huduma centres; the e-citizen and also the systems we are using to pay money electronically to get the services through the e-citizen are amazing. Therefore, removing the human contact is something that I know will go a long way in reducing the levels of corruption. I can apply for a birth certificate or driving license from my office without having to meet anybody and get it in the next 48 hours. Similarly, I can apply for a certificate of good Conduct without having to meet a police man to give it to me, except take my fingerprints and then walk away and do it electronically. The removal of that human contact will reduce the corruption that is pervading this nation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is like having radars to track traffic offenders. If we have efficient systems, radars that catch up with over-speeding drivers, and communication is made to them via mail that they are expected to pay a fine and if they do not do so within a certain period, there are consequences; again that removes the human contact and reduces tremendously the levels of corruption. 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"
