    "content": ": Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will take two minutes. I just want to follow up on the issue that has been said by the Leader of the Majority Party in regards to the media. We can see that there is indiscipline in the Fourth Estate and we have allowed that indiscipline because there are no consequences for misreporting and misinformation at all. We must begin to put pressure on them. One, if those who are within the Bunge grounds who are accredited to report from here misreport, then the accreditation must be withdrawn, and not just the individual accreditation, but also their media house. It is as simple as that. They owe us a duty to report accurately. That is why we allow them access to be here. They cannot be here and continue to misreport and we must ensure that there are legal consequences. Every time they misreport, the Auditor-General should sue them. If they misreport Parliament, we should also sue those media houses until they begin to know that we are not going to allow it. If we continue this way, the media houses will be in charge of destroying institutions, destroying individuals, and writing whatever they want. We cannot allow that. We must also make sure that we keep sending, no matter how many times, our complaints to the Media Council of Kenya. If the Media Council does not take action, then we can take them to account."
