    "content": "I am very sure that even 20 policemen would have stopped the skirmishes that we saw at Kenol if they were properly briefed. We are told that intelligence gave information that there were underhand currents showing that there was going to be violence, and we have lost human lives. In fact, the Government owes Kenyans an apology for failing to maintain peace and security. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and Sen. Dullo, who are practicing lawyers, should know the famous case of Kimanga versus the Republic of Zanzibar. He says that a breach of peace cannot be imagined to be committed in the presence of policemen. If policemen were there, there would have been no breach of peace, because it is their duty to maintain peace. I urge my brother, Sen. Poghisio. Shakespeare said: “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” The crown is on his head in this House. He must constantly assure us as his colleagues that all is well, and all will be well. I want to go to Kenol and open an office for Ford Kenya. I hope that Sen. Kang’ata will not be there picketing, shouting and throwing crude weapons at me when I go there. Nobody needs a visa to go to any part of this country. Everybody is welcome to go anywhere and everywhere to propagate correct political messages to hold our country together. Thank you."
