    "content": "However, away from the Motion, I feel quite disturbed by recent assaults on this House one, from the Senate – the other House. I do not know whether it is Lower or the Upper House and most recently, from people probably who are very nostalgic of their times in this House, especially on the question of the media centre. That is because that issue has been addressed in this House and the Speaker gave his ruling. We are all aware of the problems that we are facing as a House. Just this afternoon, we have been balloting for offices and some of the offices that Members of this House have been allocated are not more than stores. Personally, when I visited the office that I have been allocated, it is a server room at Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) and, therefore, I feel very disturbed. Those people who are nostalgic about their times in this House would be coming to the precincts of this House and issuing or purporting to issue directives to our very good Speaker as to how we will conduct the business of this House and who or whom should not be allowed in Parliament. I have got nothing against the media because they have got every right to conduct their business, but we must also be cognisant of the fact that all the media houses operating in this country, except Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), are private business institutions working for a profit. Therefore, nobody should be coming from out there. I know, probably, because they are used to directing members of their parties from outside, they should not imagine that they can come to Parliament to direct not just members of the Jubilee Government, but our own Speaker as to who he should allocate what office and where within the precincts of Parliament."
