Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what am I apologising for, when everybody knows that what I am saying is the truth of the matter? Journalists are very poorly paid. That is simply what I am saying!

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is hypocrisy not to admit that journalists are very poorly paid. We have them in Thika, Nairobi, Mombasa--- I am just emphasizing the fact that our journalists are very poorly paid by the media owners. I cannot withdraw that remark!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that KTDA bought 26 continuous fermenting machines (CFMs) at a cost of Kshs184.3 million.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have no doubt that this tender has elements of some fraud.
