    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of this Bill. The media is very important to the society as it has been alluded to by my colleagues who have spoken. It can be used for very many important and positive aspects. Let me just quote about four. One, the media can play a very critical role in bringing national unity and cohesion in the country. That is a very positive element of the media. It is also important to note that the media can be used to portray the country in a very positive way through imaging globally. You will remember when we were with you in Massachusetts; the Speaker of the House of Representatives said, “We are ready to continue giving Kenya more aid on one condition; that they will not bring athletes to run in Boston again”. We asked him why and he said, “Because I have a son who is a runner and he will never win so long as Kenyan athletes are in the race”. That has been known because of the positive imaging of this country by our media. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
