    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just on the same issue, I would request that as you give us guidance on the issue raised by hon. Kabogo, as you may be aware, yesterday The Standard Newspaper on its front page named many Members of Parliament to the extent that they alleged that we are fearing that we will not be allowed to run for our parliamentary seats or otherwise. I have no case against me in court. Which Kenyan does not know that the case against hon. Ethuro and hon. Nanok was dismissed only last week? Is it not the height of irresponsibility for a national newspaper like The Standard Newspaper to go maligning Members of Parliament at a time when people need their good names as they go back to campaign? You need to protect us because I am getting a lot of phone calls. If I am the one in court or took somebody to court, how can that stop me or bar me from contesting for a public office? The newspaper is also aware that even the cases against hon. Uhuru and hon. Ruto are in court and they shall be determined in good time for us to go to elections. Why must we entertain irresponsible journalism in our country? I beg that you find these newspapers at fault and reprimand them because I do not think they are above the law."
