    "content": "Remember the issue of the International Criminal Court (ICC) cases. In those cases, we knew who the competitors were and who the price was to be given to. However, we ended up having suspects that were not even competitors in the elections. They did not benefit directly from that election because we misused our rights to demonstrate and picket. That is why I support this Bill so that we can bring public order when we reject the results of elections or when we accept results of elections. We may say that my rights are more important than the rights of the rest of the people. Remember the policemen who would try to protect the lives of those demonstrating and the lives of those who were not demonstrating. We sometimes end up killing them. Policemen are also human beings with human feelings. As you picket there must be public order. There must be some order. This Bill is trying to address that so that we have order in our demonstrations. Sometimes when a policeman is seen misbehaving in public probably beating a citizen, we go to the social media and make it so big. We cannot dig deeper to find out what caused the policemen to fight with the common citizens. Sometimes it is the citizens that are wrong. If I am a uniformed policeman and you throw a stone on my head, do you expect me to be silent? Of course, I will use any tool that I have, including the gun, because I am also a human with human feelings."
