    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the integrity of our media houses is in question because there is always a competition among the media houses to be the first ones to share what appears to be sexy news or sensational. That clip was looking very attractive and sensational to the point that media houses which are respected by all of us were the first ones to share. A warning should go to the media houses for them to go back to the traditional required standards of media practice of verifying information. That applies to not only the kind of news that touched on Sen. Kang’ata. Sometimes the media houses break the death of prominent people without recourse for a family member who has suffered due to receiving news of the death of their loved one only to find that it was fake news. These are some the things that the media houses should deal with; some within the law while in some instance, the Editors’ Guild should be engaged as we have done before for them to appreciate that integrity is more important than being sensational."
