    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is no country on earth where the media is not regulated. If you want structured development, you cannot have a very vital industry like the media being so rogue. I want to thank this House for enhancing the rules. I can assure you that if you sat in your living room and flipped through the television channels, you will not sit for 30 minutes before seeing a nude picture in front of your own children. So, this is one area where the Government has to take charge since the Government has a responsibility to protect its citizens. We want the media to co-operate, because there is now a tendency where the media is moving one way and leaders in the country are moving another way. The media must co-operate with us, as much as we are willing to co-operate with them. You know of cases where the media has been inciting people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, remember we have talked in this House and every where about Mr. Waweru Mburu who spends all his mornings telling Kenyans how MPs are bad people. How are we going to rule people if we are always the bad ones? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this move. I thank the House."
