    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. When we talk about increasing the utility of Wi-Fi in the rural areas, it is about increasing connectivity of our populations to information. I am humbled to say that as a nation, we have big dreams but we need to focus on small improvements that can enable us achieve big dreams. We are talking about Wi-Fi, the system that uses radio waves which are accessible deeply in the villages. These are widely available waves that can be used to enable our population access ICT facilities. The suggestion that this expansion be done alongside the private sector efforts is quite in order because we know a number of private companies such as Faiba, Zuku Safaricom and others have already set the system at the constituency level. All they need is to open kiosks and provide the necessary gadgets which can enable the rural population access internet and be in touch with the global discourses and also development at the national level. We are talking about having a population which is highly informed, one that has access to the dynamics at the national level, a population which will be made to be more cost-effective because they have the information and they can use the information to bring changes."
