"content": "Hon. Speaker, the committee is seized of the matter. Even this morning, we had a marathon meeting with the Media Owners Association. We expect that by the end of next week, we should be able to have a report. Hon. Speaker, even as the report comes, it is important for us, as Members, to respect the view that, indeed, when a committee is seized of a matter, you cannot do it in one day and report to the House. We want to make sure that we go to the bottom of everything and report. With respect to ownership of media stations, Kenyans are free to own whichever media stations they want to own. Even hon. Duale owns a station and there is nothing wrong with that. If there are people who own media stations, I do not think there should be any reason for any worries. Again, it is also not right to be talking for and be seen to be kind of defending the media. Let us be sober on this matter. Let us go to the bottom of it and make sure that we deliver a good report to this House."
