    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, next is response to the matter raised by hon. Abdikadir, the Member for Mbalambala, whose people I had the privilege of representing in the Tenth Parliament. If you indulge me, I will be happy to say that they have elected a man of stature, who can do better work than I did. He asked about homeland security. I am sure that he knows what the Jubilee Government has done in Garissa. Today Garissa is a safe town. The problem of northern Kenya, comprising of Garissa, Mandera and Wajir counties; is interrelated with the situation in southern Somalia. That is the key agenda that His Excellency the President will table before IGAD Heads of State meeting. I also want to assure hon. Abdikadir that the media is safe. We are only telling them that they cannot use fabricated documents to ruin the reputation of individuals and the Government. The Bill of Rights is very clear. Articles 33 and 34 give them that freedom but there are limits. What the Government is saying is that we have a communication strategy. Let us give the public factual information. Let us not give information on the basis of documents that are not authentic. Finally, let me say that even when the Speaker goes on a tour, he has the discretion of seeking the company of Members of Parliament. There is nothing wrong with the President, the Deputy President, the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the Senate seeking the company of hon. Members. During such tours, hon. Members will represent Parliament in the meetings that will ensue. As an hon. Member, one will be going there in one’s capacity as a leader of this country. So, if Alice Ng’ang’a missed a chance to go, he should ask me: “Please, make sure that I go next time”, and that will be next week."
