    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to add one comment. I am a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) veteran and there are several veterans in this House. Brutalising and beating up a retired military officer, whether serving or not is against our military ethics and traditions. We cannot have a country where people who served this country with honour …. All my life I have served the country with distinction, if I may say, yet I was humiliated and beaten up like a common criminal. It is a shame and I want to say this for all to hear. I have received a lot of calls from military officers, some retired some still serving, wondering what is going on this country. The monster that is being created will come back to bite and it always does. This week, we had the world press freedom day. None other than the Hon. Speaker exemplified the provisions of our Constitution on the freedom of the press yet journalists were bundled up, beaten and locked in for no reason. Their equipment were destroyed and they were taken to court. This must stop. I have an IDP camp in a primary school and schools are opening. This Government must tell us about the provisions it is making to resettle the IDPs, put them back in their homes and compensate them for the loses they incurred. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
