    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is very clear that our former colleagues out there who we were in this House together are suffering because they were in an election where they spent their resources. They need some cushion. I ask the members who are selected to this Committee to begin their work immediately with the other members and make sure that we put the interest of our colleagues. Those are our colleagues in this House and they will remain so. We intend to make sure that our colleagues out there give a true image of mheshimiwa. We have seen the scenario that our former colleagues or old Members of Parliament have gone through and it is difficult. Having said that, I pass my condolences and the condolences of the people of Matungulu to the family and friends of the Governor of Nyeri who died in the most tragic accident yesterday morning. I want to say very clearly that this House and the Committee which will be selected for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) need to come up with laws to deal with the social media. As a Member of Parliament, even before your people know your fate, you are already condemned dead by the social media. I know it is within the powers of this House without fear or favour to deal with such issues within the law. I urge the public: Please, the social media has become a tool but do not misuse it to harm other families. Governor Wahome has a family but what happened yesterday is not allowed. Last but not least, I urge the new members. Being a member of the Departmental Committee on Health in the last Parliament and being the chair of the Tuberculosis Caucus, once we come back after recess, I will pass a paper to recruit you to be members of the Caucus. TB is one of the most dangerous diseases in the world and if you look at the report done by the World Health Organisation (WHO) just recently, Kenya has been declared among the top 20 countries in the world---"
