    "content": "What I am saying is that when we make such amendments, then what are we doing? First, it is unconstitutional, two; it is not a good practice. There is also a proposed amendment to allow NIS not to seek court order to get to our private property. That I also feel is wrong. As a House, we decided to make that provision in law, so that these bodies that have been misused over the years by the Executive to harass politicians and innocent Kenyans are not used again to abuse those powers. I happy that the Leader of Majority Party did say that he is going to withdraw amendments to the Public Benefits Organizations and the Non- Governmental Organizations. The moment you compromise the civil society; you have already compromised the media in a way. Because of the amendments that we passed in this House, the media can now be threatened not to cover any functions, as it happened to us on Saba Saba with ease and you get away with it.
