    "content": "The media owners have informed me that they have not been adequately consulted. I think that they are so key here to be left out. As we continue to debate this Bill, and before we come to the Third Reading, I think it is important for us to have that consultation, including, to what extent their numbers should be in the council. As an owner of a media house, do I get to have the same slot as the person that I employ? These are questions that I think we should discuss and consider when proposing amendments to the Bill. However, I want to say that we must make sure that the Government is not overzealous. It can never be our intention to muzzle or restrict the media. As hon. Muite said, I think we must allow the media to have their own self-regulation. Let them set up their own disciplinary committee, but within the framework of this Bill. With those few remarks, I would like to support the Bill, but with the necessary amendments."
