    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to quote what happened to President Bush in Iraq. All the media people in that house were good people, but there was one who threw shoes at a sitting Head of State. In fact, hon. Members, no person from the media stood up to correct the situation, if you really looked at the clip. It is the security detail that came in to control the situation. It was all because of that one person who was not behaving in accordance with the journalistic standards that the security detail had to be there. Because of that one rogue media house that says that one December 16, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4115 community should rise against another one, we need checks and balances in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I speak for myself and other Kenyans who believe this, people are afraid - they say that you cannot fight the media, you will lose. So, what are we supposed to do? Are we not supposed to legislate? Mr. Speaker, Sir, every morning when you come to work, all you hear over our FM radio stations is sex talk."
