    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to remark about the Statement made by the Senior Counsel, Sen. Wetangula. This is a very good Statement. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are two tragic issues about this programme. One, the programme has totally failed. This is because there was no curriculum in the first place; there was no infrastructure to ensure that it took off in the second place; but more importantly, its implementation was designed in such a manner that large chunks of this country associated with different opinions were left out. Madam Temporary Speaker, when the report will come out, it will be noted that there were certain areas in this country that were not designed to benefit from this programme. That level of discrimination and leaving our children behind is not acceptable, because we want a nation where equal opportunity is given to every person who desires to have knowledge of this kind. Knowledge, when it comes to ICT, is important because that is where the world is going. All us, including our children, must have this knowledge. However, the little bit of this programme that has been implemented left out large chunks of this country, particularly areas that are represented by people of my opinion, people of the opinion of Sen. Wetangula, and people who are generally marginalized when it comes to implementing good Government programmes. Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, what I – and I believe my colleagues – expect is that we will also have a report that will indicate the extent to which it was implemented and the areas it covered, because we really want to know why---"
