    "content": " The hon. Member has mentioned here that there were unruly fellows on the road. There were goons on that road, and I would want to ask Kenyans not to take law into their own hands. If there is anything bad happening, I urge Kenyans to report it to the nearest police station. I agree with some of the statements which he has made. As we speak, an inquiry has already been opened. We are investigating the matter and if there is any wrong-doing on the part of the police officers, we will take action. But you have to realize also that if you have a number of goons blocking a road, and they want to burn an ASTU vehicle, as well as to burn a bus with 61 passengers, my police officers must use fire arms. Cap. 28, of the Police Act, Section 28, allowed the police officers to use firearms, if circumstances so dictated, to save the lives of 61 people together with the others in the other vehicles. I would want to inform Mr. Ruteere that he should educate his people not to take law into their own hands and occasion loss of innocent lives."
