    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader and also seize this opportunity to urge him to consider the relationship between the Senate and the media during the next meeting of the Rules and Business Committee (RBC). Early in the week, we debated the issue of the funding of the Council of Governors (CoGs) and made far-reaching contributions that finally culminated in a directive that the Chairman of CoGs appears before the Committee of the Whole, including the National Treasury, but nothing was mentioned in the media. In an off-the-cuff debate in the National Assembly over the same matter, when they were throwing tantrums about the meeting in Meru, it received extensive coverage in the media. Unless we address some of these things, in future, it will contribute to some misguided people thinking that the Senate is not up to the task or not worth existing. We better take it seriously. We also want the country to know that we are working and they can only know that through the media."
