    "content": "Thank you, for the opportunity, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Arising from what Sen. Cherargei has said, it is very difficult to enforce curfew in police cells because you are already inside there. I want to say from the outset that these curfew regulations were intended and continue to be intended to regulate our lives and make us safe. However, the enforcement of these regulations has not been aligned to common sense. In fact, these regulations have been enforced so ridiculously that many people continue to suffer because of the manner in which the police are enforcing them. Two months ago, we lost both the father and wife of my campaign manager. One body was in Nairobi and another body was in Kisumu. So, we flew the body from Nairobi to Kisumu and expected the bodies to be ferried in one hearse. When we reached Kisumu, owing to these curfew unrelated regulations, we were told that bodies cannot travel at night. We cannot transport bodies at night because of curfew. We had a hearse having a body and a family parking in front of a mortuary with passengers because it could not transport home bodies of a man and a woman. I had to look for the powers that be in this nation to have them ferry a man and a woman who had died together with their children. That shows you how ridiculously these regulations are being enforced."
