    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is the reason I had sought to do it from there. I had moved the bulk of the points that I had wanted to make with regard to the 50th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Africa Region Conference meeting. For the next five minutes, I would like to bring to the attention of this House to the resolutions that were passed by the African parliamentarians that attended the 50th CPA regional meeting in Zanzibar. I would also like, just as a reminder, to bring to the attention of the House the theme of the 50th CPA Africa Region Conference which was e-parliament: A Seamless Platform for Facilitating Democracy. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what was very important about this conference was the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in strengthening public involvement in the legislative process. Therefore, the meeting was useful because it was about employing technologies in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to ensure that public participation, which is the cornerstone of our democracy and the Constitution 2010, is used. This will ensure that our parliaments work, engage the people and are efficient. It will also enhance use of ICT in providing life-changing solutions to rural communities by ensuring that efficiencies on how we take care of education, agriculture and social protection for our communities.
