    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought it is the duty of the media and MCK to ensure they give us balanced stories and not do the bidding for those who wish to push our society towards this thinking. Our children will grow up thinking it is a norm for you to be killed and then an explanation given that so-and-so was killed because he had a lot of money and used to send it. Take an example of the story that is in The Star today. It says the young Somali- American businessman used to send money to Somalia. So, what is the crime? Has it become illegal to send money to Somalia? I thought Somalia has an Embassy here and we have one in Mogadishu. They are a friendly nation. I plead with the Committee on Information Communication Technology (ICT) to invite MCK to this House and consider some of these points that are being raised by colleagues on the practice and how low our media has sunk. This is not only on the point of extra-judicial killings, but even in our political space and many other things that they appear to be bidding for other people. The perpetrators of evil in society have found a new haven in our news outlets. That should not be normalized and accepted as a way of life. I challenge our colleagues who sit in the Committee on ICT to invite them. Let them come and remember that the same way they criticize us and expect the Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary to perform and live true to their calling; we also expect our media to live true to their call of duty."
