    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I stated two weeks ago when I was answering this Question, we experienced some challenges in enforcing the Act. One of the challenges we experience is that some of these media houses or film distributors and exhibitors always run to court whenever the Board, in conjunction with affected stakeholders such as the CCK, the Kenya Corporate Board or Office of the President wants them to comply with the law. When we brought the Kenya Information and Communications (Amendment) Bill to this House three years ago, some of the hon. Member who are complaining here loudly are the ones who watered down that Bill saying that we were trying to gag the Press. The Bill was watered down so badly that my Ministry is almost helpless. We have no legal framework. Whenever we try to enforce the law, we are taken to court. Therefore, these are some of the challenges that we are facing in the enforcement of this Act."
