    "content": " We are discussing a matter of national importance. Most of us here are vilifying a very important issue. In this country, one person by the name Raila Amolo Odinga has never organised a peaceful demonstration. Even when he was trying to say that he would do one this time round, we knew for sure he was going to organise a chaotic one. I wonder where picketing involves destroying infrastructure. Where does picketing involve people fighting the police? We have a Constitution and laws in this country and we have a law enforcement agency. Those who produced the Constitution and laws of Kenya must have known that there is need for enforcement at some point. That is why we have the police protecting Kenyans and their businesses. When we have people’s lives being lost in such incidents, we should be asking ourselves one question: supposing the rest of Kenya and everybody else rises up and decides to fight for themselves, where will these few people be? They should know that they lost the election because they are few. If you are just so few and you lost the election, and you have always lost elections in this country, you should actually have lost hope. What we need to advise Raila Odinga is that he should lose hope because he has lost elections every time. There The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
