    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think the freedom of the Press is very important. Nearly 80 per cent of what is reported in the newspapers is correct. It is once in a while that individuals fail to write the right things. If we do not give them that freedom, we will not know what is happening in this country. The Press has, in many cases, disclosed what most of us were never aware of. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, you are also aware that even some hon. Members in this House have taken some of the media houses to court for reporting lies about them, and they have been awarded a lot of money. You know that even hon. Biwott was once awarded Kshs10 million. So, as long as you have that freedom of taking them to court whenever they fail to report correctly, I do not see why we should squeeze them too much."
