    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, out of respect to the Chair, I withdraw. If you allow me to make the final submission on this particular matter, those of us who have studied a little bit of public relations and media understand the agenda setting role of the media. The point I am trying to make is that the media needs to be careful when trying to set an agenda, so that they do not sweep under the carpet issues that have been raised to the fore of national discourse by using a popularity assessment similar to the one that was released yesterday. Finally, I do not support the call to take sanctions against Nation Media Group because as a media house, we should allow them to report fairly, objectively and freely. We might not like what they say about us but we must allow them to say it. However, we really need to emphasize to the pollsters that the work of a Senator is not assessed by a popularity survey that is done in market places. If we have to do a popularity survey to compare a Senator, a Member of County Assembly (MCA), a Governor and a Member of Parliament (MP), the Senator will be ranked lowest because he does not have a fund from which he can dispense bursaries, jobs and other goodies."
