    "content": "Toroitich Arap Moi. Some of us who drank his milk have very fond memories of him. Those of us who pledged the loyalty have very fond memories and those of us who sang those patriotic songs are very proud to have had him as the President for the 24 years. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there will always be challenges in leadership. Allow me make two comments concerning the Universal Service Fund under the ICT sector. It is interesting that the Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) collects a lot of money from the various operators. I must tell you without fear of contradiction that many Kenyans have no idea where the money goes to. Many schools in the country, especially in the rural areas, have no access to ICT. Many schools have nothing to show from this Fund. The NG-CDF is being forced to set up ICT hubs and yet there is so much money lying in the Fund. About two years ago, there was a tiff between the CAK and the Executive when they were requested to provide some Kshs2 billion towards some funny projects that could not be supported by legislation. It is, therefore, crucial that we get back to the fund managers and put then to account. Let them give us the schedule of projects. For example, where I come from in Funyula Constituency, there has been no project under the USF. We are using the NG-CDF to undertake ICT connectivity projects for various schools and yet there is a national Fund for that purpose."
