    "content": "What is the Government doing? The Inspector General of Police has been given responsibility to enforce peace in the country so that if there is such demonstration, is illegal and not peaceful, they should enforce the law. Arrest all those people who are doing the demonstration and causing mayhem. If it was peaceful, we could not have lost lives, there would not be looting and people would not be closing their businesses. I urge the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration and the Inspector General of Police to make sure the rest of Kenyans will continue to enjoy their rights to live in this country and do business in this country. This week there were some investors who were present in the country. When these chaos and demonstrations started, they decided to get their tickets and go back. They decided Kenya may not be the best place to invest. As such Hon. Temporary Speaker, if we continue to lose tourists and investors, when is this economy going to recover? Why do we allow one individual or a few individuals to continue to cause instability and loss of revenue? We know the claims they are saying of wanting the servers to be opened, the servers are there. You go to the website of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), you will access it. The results that were declared at the polling stations are the forms that you will need. There is nothing like a server to be opened. I wish to continue to urge the Government that is in place to instil and make sure that peace prevails in this nation. We cannot agree to be closing business every week. We are not in a position to do anything in Nairobi, Eldoret or Kisumu just because somebody has declared it is a public holiday and so Kenyans should just go and demonstrate. I am requesting that we continue to discuss this particular Motion. However, we want the Inspector General of Police and the police all over the country to keep law and order. I commend the police, regardless of all the pressure that they were put in during the demonstrations…"
