    "content": "Order! We can then raise the matter of our friend, Sen. Kang’ata, who was misrepresented. The media raised issues about Sen. Kang’ata and the Speaker has made a ruling. Mine is to support the Speaker on the matter. When I was in the Ministry of Information, I created the Media Council of Kenya, which is responsible for the rules that bind the media. This means they cannot misreport, just as I heard Sen. Wetangula speak. He said that even if Sen. Kang’ata had problems with anybody, we would defend him when it comes to being misrepresented and misreported. As your friend, I am here to say that my business is to defend a Member of this House at any cost. Let us defend each other. The Speaker has raised the matter, and I think I have seen the media houses have apologized. I know some have apologized, but some have not. Some of the people who started this matter need to apologise. I agree with you that you do not have to pursue it any further than that. They have been warned and let us have a Member of this House respected, whatever his status is. We have a situation in our hands and this House needs to be respected by the media. Let me come down to the matter present on the fuel prices. It is the first thing on the Order Paper tomorrow. We will get prime time tomorrow when the media is on and we have live coverage. That is the moment we can discuss this matter. For today, let us finish the business of the order of the day. Tomorrow, at 2.30 p.m., we will be able to proceed."
