    "content": "However, Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of your cardinal duties is to protect the dignity and integrity of this House. Therefore, by the actions that have been mentioned by Mr. Mungatana and the ones I have mentioned, these actions undermine the integrity of the Members of Parliament. Therefore, in your ruling, would you protect the hon. Members and the House from intimidation by the media. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly and finally, Mr. Mungatana alluded to the meddling in the affairs of this country by foreign envoys and in particular, the United States (US) and German ambassadors. The US Ambassador has the audacity to question why this House passed the Kenya Communications (Amendment) Bill before the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. We have ambassadors in Washington and Berlin and they have never questioned the proceedings of the US Congress or the Parliament in Germany. Even if the Executive has allowed foreign envoys to meddle in the affairs of the State, would I be in order to ask you to stop the US Ambassador from meddling in the affairs of this House, which you so effectively preside over?"
