• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a signal is received by your handset, and there is no way it can be used for propaganda. Some people may have abused the use of that handset, but the matter does not arise because it is a public address system. It is not a broadcasting network. It comes to your individual phone. So, I do not expect that the hon. Member will have a problem of getting propaganda from the other side of the border. view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only rule is that you cover as much of your territory as possible. In that regard, there is going to be an overlap. Either way, there has to be overlap. That is why we want to have consultations, so that if it is necessary, when you cover the border area, you use short range equipment, and not long range equipment. That is basically what we are going to enter into. view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the hon. Member for that question. Technically, it is not possible to stop any signal from coming in because of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) rules, which say that you cover your country as much as you can. Even if MTN was not in partnership with Safaricom, we would still have the signal coming into Kenya because your handset is capable of picking that signal. view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that argument can be extended beyond this House with the Hon. Member. As we argue as to whether it is the sim card of the handset which picks the signal, we should appreciate that if you keep your sim card in your pocket, you cannot receive anything. You need to have the handset. view
