• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, is it in order to request the Hon. Member to be clear as to why he opposes this very important Protocol? Considering that he is a young man who should be embracing ICT as the in-thing and the way to go, it bothers me when an urban young man opposes such a critical Protocol that is definitely going to help this country in terms of doing business with the rest of East Africa. view

• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I remember when we were being told about the undersea cable that was being connected between Dubai and us through Mombasa. At that time, it sounded really out of the world. It sounded like it was not going to happen. It finally did and we have seen the cable now connected in different key towns especially county headquarters across the country. That becomes very important because we know that ICT sector has become a key driver of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of major nations across the world and that is the way to go as a country. I am also ... view
