    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion. They have all explained how important ICT is for us as a country and a region. I do not intend to repeat or belabour the point. I would just like to thank Hon. Maanzo, Hon. Pukose, Hon. Osotsi, Hon. Arbelle and Hon. Babu. I will get back to Hon. Babu and hope to convince him that it is important that we pass this Protocol for the benefit of our country. I am sure that the ban preventing him to go to Uganda will be lifted soon. One of the things that he can look at is the importance of this Protocol for us as a country, region and his own constituents as we consider how important it is for us to have ICT connectivity in the region. I would also like to thank Hon. Mutunga, Hon. Ekamais and Hon. Serem, who even shared his own personal experience when he was in South Sudan on how difficult it was for him to access banking services because there was no network. Once we have this shared infrastructure and there is connectivity across the region, he will not experience any such incidents in the near future. I also want to thank Hon. Didmus, Hon. Musimba and Hon. Lentoimaga for their contributions to this very important Motion and all the other Members who had wanted to contribute to this Motion. I beg to reply and request that pursuant to Standing Order No.53(3), you defer putting the Question, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
