    "content": "Look at what happens in France and India, where there are credible opinion polls. An opinion poll should not be conducted to cause strife in the nation. Also, it should not be allowed to trigger any disharmony in the society. An opinion poll should not be directed by political groupings to try and win certain favours in the society by fronting unelectable leaders. Opinion polls should not be seen to be manipulated. It is, therefore, important that freedom of the Press in this country is guarded as it is provided in the Constitution. All elected leaders in this country must appreciate that freedom of the Press in this country has enabled the country to attain the current situation we are in. The opinion polls must, therefore, be very objective. This Motion looks at eroding that freedom that the Constitution has already guaranteed. This House must not be called upon to support a Motion that will jeopardize that freedom. Kenya is an open society and freedom of thought, opinion and disseminating information must continue to prosper in this country for now and for posterity."
