    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, yes, indeed, I want to table this letter from the Cabinet Secretary. It is clear that what was reported today that the Cabinet Secretary was in the dark, is totally and completely mis-information from the media. If I just quote one, the article under the banner: “ Matiang’i, I was in the dark, grossly misrepresents the facts of a press conference I addressed at the Nairobi Serena. In particular, the article creates an erroneous impression that I accused Parliament of keeping me in the dark on the Bill. Nothing could be further from the truth”. Finally, he says: “I urge the Media Council of Kenya to take up the responsibility of guiding the debate on the Kenya Information and Communication Bill and ensure that the media does not misrepresent facts in an attempt to protect their interests”. This is extremely paranoid. He also goes on to say that the Media Council should ensure that the truth in this debate is not sacrificed at the altar of mob lynching on Parliament. I want to table this report and say clearly that as far as I am concerned as the Chair of that Committee, I am confident that that Bill is clean, clear and constitutional and I will even request the President to sign it to law."
