• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: While competition has played a significant role in advancing the roll out of mobile services, the decision by operators to invest in various parts of the country is determined by the commercial viability of such investment. Subsequently, areas deemed to be high cost such as Kapsowar, Cheptongei, Nerkwo and Chebara towns, including my own area and many other areas in the country, have remained poorly covered by the mobile services providers. (b) Recognizing the limitation of market forces in availing communications services to all parts of the country, my Ministry, through the recently enacted Kenya Information and Communications Universal Access ... view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the concerns of the hon. Member for Marakwet are exactly the concerns of the Government and this Ministry. It is for that reason that this Government has undertaken the measures that I have mentioned to address all those issues. It is my hope that once all these measures are put in place, we can be able to access mobile telephone services countrywide. view

• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the report was supposed to inform the Minister on the measures that can be taken to be able to lay the necessary infrastructure for those services to be acquired in those areas. Of course, it is not only in the constituency that I have just mentioned. I have said that it is my hope that after operationalisation of the fund, with the report which will inform an implementation program, we can be able to say when we are to start. At the moment, we have not sat with the stakeholders to deliberate and look at the report ... view

• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issues of reception and quality of service are some of the issues that are supposed to be informed by the same report. So, unless we sit down with the service providers and the stakeholders, we will not, at this point, be able to confirm to the hon. Member when this kind of service will be on. However, I believe that once we sit with the stakeholders, all those issues will be addressed. view

• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot say exactly how many districts are covered by mobile telephone services. Of course, in the provision of these services, you may find services overlapping from one district to another. Probably, one district is served halfway while others are served fully. I can confirm that we have 65 per cent mobile telephone coverage in the entire country and the balance of 35 per cent is what we are talking about and that will be addressed once we lay the infrastructure. view

• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Committee for bringing out the real issues; the actual facts about the whole issue. The outcome of this Report has painted a very good picture to all of us that probably, what the Ministry was doing was really in favour of what this country needed. I was not worried when it was said in this House that we required to have the Report because I was confident with the hon. Minister. Probably, I am not saying this out of anything. Hon. Ngilu has been an example to most of us ... view
