"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The concern by our colleague, hon. Mutahi Kagwe, the Senator for Nyeri, is valid. At one point, I remember saying that media houses must be sanctioned. Quite a number of my colleagues said that is not the best way to go. We are not saying that they should be sanctioned but they must be guided. There are ethics and standards which they need to look at. As ably reported by my colleague, the discussions were very positive. Concerns which can be improved on by the relevant Ministry were raised and they have been given adequate time to address the concerns raised by the Senators. It is important that we get clear direction from the Chair. We have a public relations officer for Parliament and, specifically, there are people who have been in the media houses who work on this from our side. It is imperative that we get some good directions from you with regard to the manner in which coverage is done in and outside this House."
