    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak on this very important Motion. At the outset I support. Access to internet is extremely critical in any economy that hopes to grow. In my constituency, we have four I-Hubs which have been completed through ICT. After they were operationalized, we started training our youths. Now many of our youths are able to make an income through access to internet. I have been following and have realized that many of them are now able to make some money. I know one who makes between Kshs20,000 and 30,000 a month. I know it is workable. It is very critical that it is expanded across the country for our people. It is true that there are many jobs available on the internet on a daily basis. People who need certain services or products exchange information through the internet. This is a very important Motion. We must encourage it. It is timely and we must resolve to support it. Just as Hon. Nyikal has said, this is something the Government must take steps on. Let us see internet taken to every constituency because the Government can manage. We really do not need public private partnerships in provision of internet services. Perhaps, once the Wi-Fi is availed in constituencies then individuals can open up places for people to access internet. Constituencies should also be encouraged to have hubs where people can come and access internet to sell their products online or even buy online. I support the Motion and pray that it will be actualised in every constituency. Thank you very much. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
