    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. I support the Committee on Implementation of the Constituencies’ Digital Innovation Hubs that the project be optional. Different constituencies in Kenya have different challenges. Some of them have classrooms which are still made of grass and mud. Others have already completed doing their classrooms and security installations such as in offices of chiefs. Therefore, they are very comfortable just doing the digital hubs or school buses and the like. Based on this, it is clear there was no sufficient consultation. It is a very good idea to have digital hubs. We already have the fibre optics in Makueni Constituency. We can do this very comfortably but the recommendation of four is not proper. I will be able to do only one. I have three districts in Makueni Constituency. Therefore, two districts will lose out but one will benefit because the two do not have fibre optic. Even to construct one building, where this equipment is going to be and its cost will be difficult. You will find that this allocation can only favour one spot, not four. So, it was just one out of the four in the budget. It is a very good idea, only if there could be public participation. It is better if the Ministry can implement this on its own budget. If it can make budgets, its work will be to consult with the local Hon. Members in every The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
