    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, for giving me the chance. Whereas the media, continuously, publish things that are adverse to members of the public and Members of Parliament in a lot of circumstances, we need the freedom of the media. So, I want to ask my fellow colleagues that if what Mr. Muite has said is correct - that this clause can be interpreted to mean that the media should disclose their sources - we should delete it. Where would we be if the media could have disclosed the identity of the persons who were telling this country about the Anglo Leasing scandal or the Goldenberg scandal? We need the freedom of the media. Anything that will gag the media is something we must not be party to, because it will turn round and hurt us. I have been so hurt by the media. With regard to the story that has been narrated so well by Mr. Kajwang, I was lucky that on that particular day, I was with my wife. If somebody says that you have been to Koinange Street, it is very difficult for you to give an alibi ."
