Additionally, President Ruto noted that the government is on track in laying the 100,000km of fibre optic cable, connecting 100,000 public institutions to the internet.

He however encouraged the youth to harness the power of the internet and the digital space for productive income-generating activities that will improve their lives rather than misuse it for unlawful acts.

Ruto expressed concern over the emerging trend of some youth using the digital space stating: "Instead of using the Internet to post people in coffins, use it to monetise your talents and create jobs for yourselves."
