Her political tipping point came when she served as a delegate at the Bomas of Kenya, during the constitutional drafting process.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, for protecting me from the Member for Kisumu. I would like the Chair of the Committee to really explain the import of the amendment because if he is removing the Kenya Correspondents Association and they have been pleading that even though they work a lot, they are usually disregarded and their voices are not heard, I do not know if that is what he is seeking to do. This is a Media Bill, and as much as I have no problem against the religious sector; really, we need to be fair. What is the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, then he could perhaps refer us to the part of the Constitution that says that having people who come from the same profession is unconstitutional. I am not aware of any part of the Constitution that says that. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Members who stood on points of order. You did not give us a chance to contribute at all.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Indeed, during my contribution to this Bill, I said that I was not very comfortable with the definition in the Bill. Perhaps, I would encourage my colleague to bring a further amendment because his amendment is good, but really it is just tiding it up, the way you have suggested. But for me, the way it is, as obtains in the Bill, I qualify to be a journalist. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, unless I am not getting the hon. Member correctly, the only amendment I am persuaded to support is in relation to paragraph 18. If you look at the one he is referring to, instance of sexual abuse, the issues of sexual abuse are not entertaining news. They are very traumatic issues. I do not know why you would want the media to highlight a victim of sexual abuse while, indeed, there are laws that provide that protection, like the Sexual Violence Act. I am also bringing before this House the Victims Protection Bill that seeks to ...
