"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in addition to Dr. Khalwale yesterday, I also sought a statement from the Minister, and I am glad to say that the Minister has addressed most of the issues that I raised yesterday. But there are certain issues that I must bring to his attention. One, under the Police Act, there is the Police Force Standing Orders, Restricted Operations Manual which indicates that when a public gathering is going to take place and notification is given to the police, the police, using intelligence, will then assess the strength of the force of the security that is supposed to be deployed at the site. The operations manual that is restricted states that if the rank of inspector is going to be in charge of the security force, then he would have at least 36 officers under him. If it is going to be an SP, then he must have at least 90 officers under him. So, in view of these Standing Orders, and in view of the intelligence report that I expect the police had, how many police officers were deployed at Uhuru Park on that day? Two, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a common thread that is developing now. When the unlawful insertion of words at the Government Printer was discovered, immediately, some hon. Members on the âNoâ side of the campaign came out to the Press and said that because of that insertion, the process of constitution-making should be suspended. On Monday, immediately after the incident at Uhuru Park, hon. Members immediately again said that because of that incident, the process should be suspended. What is the common thread?"
