            "content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. I want to bring to the attention of this House an issue of national importance that has been happening over the last two days. The documentary, ' Blood Parliament ’, has aired on our media stations and televisions. It was run by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) World Service, and our national media stations also picked it up. It talks about the events that happened on 25th June, a very sad day indeed, tragic and shameful. Tragic in the sense that we lost the lives of our fellow Kenyans, and shameful in the sense that the democracy of Parliament was about to be infringed. Nevertheless, it has come at this time that we have moved on. We spoke about that issue in this House, discussed it, sympathised, and mourned our fellow Kenyans who passed on during that day. However, it has come again at this time. As much as we agree that it was unfortunate that our fellow Kenyans lost their lives, we have also moved on to ensure that we reconcile the country. The BBC World Service has attended to this matter in a way that is sort of discriminatory to the Kenyan and African society, if I may say so. It looks like our media stations also picked it up without questioning how BBC World Service aired the story. It happens worldwide. People are killed. Our people were killed, we sympathised and moved on. This happens worldwide. Remember, there was a similar incident in Capitol Hill, but the BBC World Service never took the opportunity to say something. It also happened in London; they never said it. It has happened in many Western nations, but they never covered it. Above all, there is the killing of women and children in Gaza, but the BBC World Service never speaks about it. Over 50,000 have been killed so far, especially women and children, by a country, but they never cover those things. The documentary comes at a time when the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) and other investigative agencies are still conducting an investigation, and they never 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."

            "content": "shared that with them. Let us not subjugate or discriminate against our agencies. They are doing their jobs. It is a matter of us ensuring that they have the capacity to do their job. Let us not clap hands for foreigners who always come and point fingers at whatever we do, claiming it is wrong. The BBC is a world-renowned media station. They have never talked about the genocide that is happening in Gaza, and yet it is a world service, but they want to incite Kenyans at this time. I am raising this point because even the title itself talks about ‘ Blood Parliament’ . They should have talked about the protests that day in Nairobi, Kenya, but they chose to use the term ‘ Blood Parliament’. That also paints Parliament in a very bad light. This does not mean that we do not sympathise with Kenyans who were killed. We did that here. We mourned, empathised, and sympathised with them, but the timing of this documentary by the BBC World Service is unfortunate. The coverage of this documentary by our media also touches on the lack of patriotism on our part by trying to showcase things done by a foreign press. I want to take on the BBC World Service so they can go to Gaza and report what is happening there. I wanted to bring that to the attention of the House so that they would also be aware that this is a national matter happening on our soil. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
