    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to second the Report on the formulation of PBU. The work that we do as parliamentarians needs to be known out there. Of course we have the Bunge Signet and Senate Signet which give information to our people on what we do in this honourable House, but the time we are allocated by KBC is so limited that our people are not able to follow all that we do, specifically what we do in Committees. Most of the work that we do is at the Committee level. That is where we interrogate in details all the issues that we deal with. But the Committee level proceedings are never covered. When we are in this House, it may not be possible for everyone to contribute and be covered so that the voters out there can see or understand our contributions. That is why we urge this House to support this report so that Parliament can have its own channel, which will enable it to cover all the proceedings that take place here. What is also good here is that if we get the Bunge channel, it will cover the Senate and the National Assembly. It will also cover what the county assemblies do. This is going to enable the general public to understand exactly what Members of Parliament do. The two hours in a week by KBC are not enough. We want to urge Members to support this report so that we are free to tell our story. When people look at what we tell them, they will be able to make their own informed judgement on us based on what we do. Since the inception of Parliament, there are many materials in the archives which need to be broadcasted. It is hard for them to be broadcasted because of the little time we are given by the Signets we have contracted. If we have our own Signet, we will be able to broadcast these stories to be known very well to our people. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second this report and urge the House to support it so that we can have our own channel. Thank you, Miss Speaker."
