• 21 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Kenya's phenomenal progress has been achieved through the respect of the fundamental rights of the individual and law and order. In this regard, my Government will continue to nurture and protect freedom of expression and assembly. These are important pillars of our democratic principles which my Government continues to respect and will always uphold. Nevertheless, although the freedom of the media cannot be over-emphasised, it is clear that freedom must be exercised within the bounds of responsibility. view
• 21 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: March 21, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 9 Objective, fair and accurate reporting should be part and parcel of professional journalism. It is a right of the people to receive accurate and truthful information. The media should, therefore, seek to verify the accuracy of their reports because no matter what you do to apologise and correct what has been published, you can never undo the damage that has been done. view
