"content": "We have talked about Members of Parliament. It is in the public domain that the image of Parliament has been eroded. However, as much as things are said about Members of Parliament out there, we do not have internal measures to counter what is being said. So, the other aspect that I would want to add even as we implement the new Standing Orders meant to reform Parliament is that the Clerk's Office, through the Speaker - now that we did not incorporate the issue of public relations in the Standing Orders - should strengthen the aspect of public relations. We should be in a position to counter or correct whatever is said about Parliament. One day I read in a newspaper about the salaries and allowances of Members of Parliament. What the Speaker's Office did was to respond by buying space in a newspaper. I was wondering how many Kenyans were able to read all that. I was expecting that would come from a Statement made by either by the Clerk's Chambers or the Speaker's Office. So, that is what I would like to recommend."
