"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, therefore, the amendment that was brought by our friend was very genuine. We are simply saying: The Press should not hurt us without taking responsibility. They should comment on matters of public interest, but comment truthfully, and nobody will bother them. However, if they publish scandalous things about you and then hide behind the fact that you are not named - even after describing you as to leave no doubt that it is you - thus denying us compensation, or even an apology, what are we supposed to do? This amendment is very genuine. The Press has, deliberately, misled this country that we are talking about their sources. I know that they may have heard from their sources that, maybe, I go to witchdoctors, I do not know, but I am not even asking them to say who told them that I go to witchdoctors. I am merely telling them: Please, you have said so about me. Do not hide behind the fact that Kajwang has not been named. That is all we are asking, as Members of Parliament, and as responsible members of Kenya's citizenry. The Press must be responsible. We cannot just let them do what they like. They can destroy us, if they like but, please, destroy us truthfully. That is all I am asking. So, this amendment is genuine. The President has been misled and we are refusing it."
