    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank my colleague, Sen. Kagwe, for bringing this issue to the attention of this House. I know that having been a media practitioner, he cannot just raise that issue for the sake of it. He also understands what guides journalism, media and all the editorial policies and so on. It is important that even if for nothing else, that this issue is brought to the attention of this House and Kenyans. As he said, this is not the first time that this has happened. In our Committee, when we went to visit some of the counties, especially the far-flung counties of our country, my Chairperson, Sen. Murkomen, said that it is important that we get specialised practitioners, medics, in our counties. We said that we would be proposing that counties be allowed to train medics, especially specialised ones so that they can work in our hospitals. We would then, probably look into this. We did not say that it was mandatory for them to be bonded for 10 years. However, it was reported that the Senate was proposing that specialised doctors will be bonded for over 10 years in the counties and this created uproar from our doctors. This was just a matter of how it was reported. In the case of this House, our media should be a little bit responsible so that we are not always in conflict with everybody on what is reported."
