    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the rapidly developing digital economy provides opportunities to boost our economic growth and create jobs. Therefore, we need to invest more in this area to boost literacy and digital skills. We also need to invest in digital infrastructure and improve access to affordable broadband connectivity. Thus, to support the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector and take advantage of the digital dividend and consolidate Kenya’s leading position in the technology space, I have allocated Kshs3.2 billion for the Digital Literacy Programme, Kshs2.9 billion for Government shared services, Kshs2.8 billion for National Optic Fibre Backbone Phase II Expansion, and Kshs1.1 billion for installation of an Internet Based 4000 Network. I have also set aside Kshs7.2 billion for the ongoing construction of Konza Technopolis Complex and another Kshs5.1 billion to support the Konza Data Centre and Smart City Facilities Project."
