    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this morning hon. Ababu Namwamba and I had organised to have a Press conference and we learnt that the media was actually barred from accessing Parliament precincts. They were not only barred from attending the Press conference but even the committee meetings. The Public Investments Committee (PIC) had a very important and crucial committee meeting which required media coverage and on enquiry we were told and alarmed that this instruction came from the Clerk. That is not only irregular but it is unconstitutional because the only office and person who has that power is the office of the Speaker. That communication, I believe can only be given in the House and I cannot recollect any time you have issued such instructions to bar the media from accessing Parliament."
