"content": "Could you assure this House that Articles 34, 48, 49, 152 (4) (a) and 153 (3) of the Constitution shall be adhered to and obeyed by Cabinet Secretaries? Article 152(4) (a), requires every Cabinet Secretary to be obedient to the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, uphold and protect. This includes the fundamental rights of individuals, including journalists who have the right and duty to publish information for Kenyans to know. Does the Chairperson and the Cabinet Secretary, that he is speaking for, appreciate the positive role that the media plays in busting and publicizing corrupt transactions going on in Government departments? In fact, without the media, we would not have known what Ms. Waiguru is doing with public funds in her Ministry. Could he assure the House and the country that journalists will act freely to inform the public and where any aggrieved party wants to take a remedy, there are civil courts to go to, but not to use the police to terrorize them?"
