    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, the matter that appeared in the headline of the Daily Nation is a grave one. It has imputed bad motive on us. It is not the first time that the Daily Nation is doing it. Parliament and, more so, the National Assembly, has a Communication Department. The people of Kenya have in their minds what is in the newspaper today. You must direct the Clerk that this matter must be cleared. We are told there are 85 Members in the USA, led by our Speaker. We must tell the country the number of Members there. Are they five or 10? Their names must be given. Two, Parliament must make a formal complaint to the Media Council of Kenya (MCK). The Litigation Department of Parliament must sue the Daily Nation . We are leaders and we cannot always lose our credibility because of fake news. You have seen just because the Governor of Mombasa, in his usual way, was with a slay queen somewhere in Europe…The picture of a white woman in the Daily Nation sends a very bad message. That headline is not very good and we cannot allow it to be swept under the carpet. That is why you are representing the substantive Speaker. We want the Clerk’s Office and Parliament to give the correct position. Write to the MCK a formal complaint. Tell our Litigation Department to demand an apology from the Daily Nation . It has never happened. I have never seen it. How do you send 85 Members to a conference? You need to give direction on the Daily Nation reporters who are in Parliament. From where I sit, the matter that has been raised by Hon. Simba Arati is similar, in terms of gravity, to the case of a child who was brought to the Chamber this morning. You need to direct from the Chair that the PSC, through the Clerk, must ask our Litigation Department to ask for an apology within seven days. If they do not do apologise, they must be sued and whatever damage that shall be paid will be shared among these Members."
