    "content": "Senate Minority Leader, I want to plead with you my brother, teach Sen. Sifuna how to behave in Parliament. This is not the only time he has abused the Speaker. He has equally abused the Substantive Speaker. That is not right. We can exchange as colleagues, that is fine. How may time do you and I trade things that we do not like but we will go out and share a cup of tea. That is a normal part of Parliamentary practice but we should not encourage the habit of insulting the Speaker, Lastly. Sen. Omogeni said something that I agree with. I want it to go on record to the people running Parliamentary Broadcasting Unit (PBU), they are the ones who share some of these clips; the things Sen. Omogeni saying. This is because nobody else has access to these clips. So, I want to humbly plead with the Clerks-at-the Table here that if there are certain things--- I was in Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) when we made the decision to allow PBU to be our own internal unit. That was because when we previously used to allow media to be the ones, they would focus on non-issues. They, for example, beam on a Senator sleeping or a slip of the tongue by the Senator. So, we said that let us have our own professional broadcasting unit that is within Parliament. Unfortunately, every time nowadays when there are exchanges, the following day, you will see the same clips being relied yet the broadcasting belongs to this House. I humbly plead with the PBU - I have forgotten the name of the head - but the reason why we kept PBU inside the House of Parliament is that so that you focus on the core business. Not to be sharing clips of members in unfortunate exchanges that are not helpful to Kenyans. I do not expect the clip that has been seen for example between Members saying one or two things to each other, to be found outside there. I thank you."
