"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Bill. However, the Bill itself covers people like ourselves who are politicians and leaders, when it comes to slur. I remember sometimes in this House there was a publication on me by the gutter press. The gutter is terribly notorious in slurs. When you go to look for them, you cannot find them. You do not know where they do their printing. One copy of that print will cost as little as Kshs20. Indeed, the daily sales comes to about 1,000 copies, which comes to about Kshs20,000 but it has no advertisement. But it contains a lot of slur and you can never get them. The other problem is about journalism. Journalism is said to be a profession. But journalists are employed by the media owners. The way journalists are treated in this country is something very shameful. We know them and they are up there in the Press Gallery. I have never seen one driving a car. They live on hand-outs. That is what brings in a lot of corruption because how do they survive? They are poorly paid---"
