    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in making observations and contribution towards that concern from the Senator. I would like to advise members of the Fourth Estate to be responsible for any report they make in the media, be it the newspapers or electronic media. It should also be noted that since we came to Parliament, the media has done this deliberately. I understand that the media fraternity has a code of ethics which they refer to. This is the same fraternity that misreports to Kenyans that any Member of the National Assembly is a Member of Parliament (MP) while a Member of the Senate is a Senator. That makes the members of the public think that the MPs are only Members of the National Assembly. This has created confusion. It has also encouraged Members of the National Assembly to feel they are the only MPs, excluding the Senate and not considering that we are also MPs. Therefore, I would like to caution and request members of the Fourth Estate that this country also belongs to them. After they conclude their duty at the end of the day, they should reason and feel that despite the business they are looking for, they might be misleading Kenyans. They should understand that they are also Kenyans and report to Kenyans accurate information because their reports could put this county in trouble. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
