    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this is a very straight forward matter. Following the direction you gave that the putting of the Question in Third Reading of this Bill be deferred and referred to the HBC, I would like to confirm that, indeed, the HBC sat this afternoon and agreed to schedule this Motion on the Supplementary Order Paper. Hon. Speaker, in accordance with Standing Order No.136, I propose that the House agrees with the Committee of the whole House on the said report by re-committing Clauses 34 and 37 of the Bill. This will give this House an opportunity to rectify some of the missteps that occurred on Wednesday, 14th October 2015, during the Morning Sitting. Further, if the House agrees with me, the amendments that we shall bring forthwith will seek to align the provisions of the Bill with Article 34(2) of the Constitution which provides for the freedom of the Media. Sub-article (2) states as follows:- The State shall not – (b) penalise any person for any opinion or view or the content of any broadcast, publication or dissemination”. To the extent that the Bill seeks to penalise the media is, in itself, inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution. I would like to ask Hon. Chepkong’a to second. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
