    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to reiterate what my colleague, Hon. Duale, has just said. There is a campaign against Members of Parliament which is being spearheaded by people known as Punguza Mizigo . My reading is that the Daily Nation has been co-opted into this campaign and Parliament is under siege. Today, if you go anywhere in this country, you are not respected because of the campaign that the media is doing against Parliament. This is something that we must resist. I propose that, perhaps, we do not need the Media Centre in Parliament. The Media Centre survives on rumours. The journalists just eavesdrop on conversations about Members of Parliament. They do not have facts. So, my proposal to Members of this House is that it is high time we closed the Media Centre which is here. I am not fearful to say that the members of the media sitting there are just waiting to go for lunch. I see most of them eating with us in the dining area. They go and eat there and then they come up with fake stories about Members of Parliament. Lastly, I wanted to say something about the debate in the morning because you realise I was at the heart of it."
