    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I would like to give a Statement on the uproar in the media fraternity over the passage of the Kenya Information Communication (Amendment) Bill, 2013 by the National Assembly on Thursday, 31st October, 2013. This is after the Committee met and agreed that it is important for Members of this House to be told the exact position on how and what is happening. The media has complained that the Bill if assented to by His Excellency the President shall be the death nail for the media freedom in Kenya and further that it is unconstitutional. But unfortunately, it is only the media’s point of view that is being put to the public thereby leaving the public with the impression that the media is right. This is not the case. I wish to very quickly give and show the position taken by the media vis-à-vis the actual correct position so that Members of this House and Kenyans can exactly know where we are. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
