    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank the Committee for doing a great job. It is high time we established our own television and radio station, so that we can broadcast the right information. Currently, unless it is negative news, it is really hard to get covered. One of the challenges we have with the media currently is that sometimes journalists are paid on what they submit to those media stations. And unless you get to the headline, the way to get to the headline is to submit negative news; it is very difficult. That is why I want to support the Chairman and his Committee. It is high time we established our own television and radio station. It is not expensive. Hon. Wanyonyi has said that we need to get the Bill. However, it is quite cheap to establish a radio or television station currently with the digital technology. I also want to encourage Members, even at the constituency level, it is important and you can establish your own community radio station and a television station so that you can also broadcast whatever you want. In Gatanga, we are known for music and we are already applying for a licence. In Central Province, we want to establish our own television and radio station where we will be able to broadcast whatever content we have to our people. This will be a great way of supporting our youth. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
