    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, of course, there are those who are our junior brothers but they are in the House of the elderly. Probably, birds that flock together tend to behave the same way. So even those who are younger in age might be behaving like those who are elderly in terms of age. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, age should come with wisdom and wise people should know before passing judgments on others, especially those who think we are their younger brothers. We agree many are elders, they are much elderly and some are old enough to be our grandfathers. They should know that a majority of Members in this House believe in the freedom of the media. The Jubilee Administration also believes in the freedom of the media. Besides that, there are very many other recommendations contained in the Report that was tabled before this House by the Member for Turkana County, Hon. Joyce Emanikor, like on the proposal to establish the office of an administrator of ethics and standards. Even the Mover of this Bill, Hon. Keynan, who is my Chair in the Public Investments Committee (PIC), objected to the establishment of this office. I want to tell Members of this House and Members of the other House that if indeed they want to stand with the people of this great country, I encourage them to read the Report of the Powers and Privileges Committee. This Bill will also affect Members in the Senate. They should read the Report and see if they can incorporate some of the other proposals like the establishment of an office of an administrator of ethics and standards, both for the National Assembly and the Senate. They will help this House since we have not recommitted that clause. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I thank Members for their support to this Bill. Thank you."
