    "content": "Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. This one deserved more riding but we trust your judgement. Pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1) I would like to seek a Statement from the Chairperson Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights on the arbitrary and purported arrest of Nairobi Governor, Hon. Mike Mbuvi Sonko and the unwarranted disruption of his meeting with Members of the County Assembly of Nairobi City County on 30th November, 2020. Madam Deputy Speaker, knowing that there had been an impending impeachment and without going into the merits or demerits of that, which will come to us later, the Constitution, which is the foundation of our democracy clearly stipulates that every Kenyan, no matter what side of politics you look at, has the right to freedom of association and expression. The Governor was within his right to meet Members of the County Assembly and, therefore, it was utterly wrong and irresponsible for the police to disrupt this meeting."
