    "content": " I can tell you that I am schooled in many of those things. I am not a layman in that line. But that aside, I want to say that the creation of a Complaints Committee, where everybody is incorporated, tells us that the Government and this Parliament do not want to control the media. But, obviously, we want to regulate the media. It raises one fundamental question: Is journalism a profession or a trade? That is a very fundamental question that I want us to bear in mind. We want to know whether journalism is a profession or it is a trade. An engineer is a professional. A lawyer is a professional. A doctor is a professional. A valuer, like myself, is a professional under the relevant Act. Why am I a professional? It is because I profess a specialised trade in my own line. Hon. M. Kilonzo professes a specialised line in the legal profession - the learned profession. We also call ourselves the \"landed\" profession!"
