    "content": "Finally, with regard to the media, what is the position and ruling of this House in a case where we have a media that deliberately distorts the information and decisions of this Parliament? The media has sought to minimise this House's decision and mix it with the question of taxation of Members of Parliament when, in fact, the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has already made a decision to appoint a tribunal. The matter of taxation has nothing to do with the Kenya Communications (Amendment) Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is your ruling? What do we do with a media that is deliberately campaigning to malign the integrity of this House? What action would you direct that this House takes against a media that misrepresents the decisions and proceedings of this House? In your ruling, please, clarify whether the relevant Departmental Committee moved, at least, nine amendments that were not contested by the Minister. Did he or did he not? This is because in my recollection, that was the case. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you should also clarify in your ruling, whether Section 88 of the Kenya Communications Bill was part of the Kenya Communications (Amendment) Bill or not. As far as I am concerned, this House is being vilified for something that was not even before this House. It was not there!"
