    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. This is a very important Motion because you cannot take away the right of the people in the constituencies to decide whether they want a project or not. The proposal from the Ministry was taking away their right. These ICT hubs are very important but we have some basic things that need to be done, including but not limited to buildings that will house this kind of thing. Therefore, it should be made optional so that if you want to do it as a constituency, in consultation with the people and the NG-CDF Committee, you go ahead and do it. Even for those constituencies which are willing to implement the project, it should not be mandatory that the Ministry of ICT supplies the equipment. We should follow the available procurement procures through the NG-CDF Committee so that we get value for our money. We read mischief when somebody sits somewhere and decides that the Ministry will supply ICT equipment to all the constituencies – more so if money has already been set aside."
