• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First of all, I congratulate the Chair and indeed the Committee for coming up with a pretty comprehensive Report as to the ratification of the ICT Protocol over the EAC. We cannot understate and I think every contributor has placed the key role of ICT. However, I will talk about nationhood and its role in picking the patriotic nature of our people and actually reducing the blaring lines that exist between us and our colleagues around the EAC. This is because trade has been with us. The ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think it is excitement that this is a Report that has been long in coming. Even yesterday, we waited with a lot of anticipation in the afternoon, but I think they say better never than late as Jusper Wendo said in Betrayal in the City. I wanted to speak to the long heritage that the EAC has had within itself. The Nyamwezi have traded ably with the Akamba people. They were long distance traders albeit in pretty interesting commodities for the time. We look forward that now in this present age, especially with the ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to second this momentous Motion before us. Today we must mark it as an ICT morning because we have had quite a mouthful about ICT today and I think we are empowered for the next level. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: We have come from an era of saying drums are beating and your ears needed to be open for you to know what has been communicated from another different locality. Today we are at a generation where we talk about technology in neutrality where we have cascaded from the days when we were at 2G which just meant that data was out of place and was limited to voice calls, to 3G. Now we have 4G and we are moving to the next generation networks as the Mover alluded to, which anticipate the sort of functionality and what you want ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Bringing this closer home, and that is why this is so important, we have counties which are a reality. There is no point to disenfranchise one county to another due to technology. With the counties in place, we want all of them to communicate seamlessly as funding is a critical element in terms of revenue allocations and how efficient they move it so that we do not have days where we used to process payrolls for a period of 10 days. We have a cyclical circle of paying, till today we are still in that catch 22 basis when it ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: recently His Excellency the President launched the Big Four Agenda. One of the salient things within the Big Four Agenda is the role of ICT. Without ICT we cannot start innovation into housing and to compare the sort of schemes that have been utilised across border and the relevant technology in place. So, for Timboroa which is a cold area, are they going to embrace timber? For hotter areas like Lodwar, we look at technologies in terms of how we utilise our clay soil as a mode of making bricks and improve on housing. On Universal Health Care, we have ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Monitoring and evaluation are critical roles. We spend endless hours pounding through reports and everything. We need to interact with it in real time or see real time reporting in terms of how we do procurement so that it reduces inefficiency. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will just take another 30 seconds to say that we are measured with the ease of doing business and ICT is that particular nod that we require to get there. I urge the House to adopt this Motion. As I second it, I request Members to support it. view
