    "content": "shared that with them. Let us not subjugate or discriminate against our agencies. They are doing their jobs. It is a matter of us ensuring that they have the capacity to do their job. Let us not clap hands for foreigners who always come and point fingers at whatever we do, claiming it is wrong. The BBC is a world-renowned media station. They have never talked about the genocide that is happening in Gaza, and yet it is a world service, but they want to incite Kenyans at this time. I am raising this point because even the title itself talks about ‘ Blood Parliament’ . They should have talked about the protests that day in Nairobi, Kenya, but they chose to use the term ‘ Blood Parliament’. That also paints Parliament in a very bad light. This does not mean that we do not sympathise with Kenyans who were killed. We did that here. We mourned, empathised, and sympathised with them, but the timing of this documentary by the BBC World Service is unfortunate. The coverage of this documentary by our media also touches on the lack of patriotism on our part by trying to showcase things done by a foreign press. I want to take on the BBC World Service so they can go to Gaza and report what is happening there. I wanted to bring that to the attention of the House so that they would also be aware that this is a national matter happening on our soil. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
