    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know where to start and where to end. There are several issues that need to be redefined. As the Cabinet Minister for Education, I engaged the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) in developing the digital content. Indeed, they developed digital content for Standard 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. By the time I left, they were developing digital content for Standard 7 and 8. Equally so, they had also developed digital content for Form 1 and 2 and were waiting to develop the same for Form 3 and 4. We had identified KICD because they have a fantastic state of the art digital transmission centre. On the other hand, the Government has the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) transmission centre. However, the interface between the digital transmission centres is that the KICD one is digital and the KBC one is analogue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, even contemplating school transmission study through KBC radio and television is impossible because the furthest you can go is within 100 kilometres of Nairobi City County. So, what happens to schools in rural areas? I am a Member of the Committee on Education and these are the issues that we wanted to interrogate the CS on. First of all, on the issue of transmission and second, the content to be transmitted. Third is on the issue of the availability of command centres where in the remote areas, they can congregate and learn. That is another level."
