Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Samuel Njoroge,Β has called upon editorsΒ to uphold professionalism andΒ accuracy in reportage of Parliamentary business to help the public make informed decisions.
Mr. Njoroge said this during his welcome remarks at the commencement of a three-day retreat between the National Assembly Leadership and editors drawn from Media houses that cover Parliament.Β
The retreat whose theme is, "Bridging the dissemination gap: Editors and Parliament", provided a platform to deliberate on ways of enhancing collaboration and partnerships between the National Assembly and the media to enhanceΒ media coverage of Parliamentary business.
"Media plays a big role in the dissemination of information to the masses hence helping them to make informed decisions. As a result, the media should be a source of reliable information," Mr. Njoroge said.Β
Further, the CNAΒ asked editors to ensure that they always get their facts right to avoid misinterpretation by the consumers of the information.
Quoting the 27th President of the United States of America (USA), President William Howard Taft, Mr. Njoroge said, "Don't write so that you can be understood, write so that you can't be misunderstood".
