    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Gikaria has already wasted my time yet he is my good friend. The rights and freedoms are very well stipulated in our Constitution: the right to demonstrate, associate, picket and so on. That, however, does not give us the guarantee to go out of our way to disturb the peace of Kenyans. There is a limit to every right. In as much as they are clear in Articles 19 and 37, it does not give anybody the immunity to destroy people’s property and go for the lives of Kenyans. We are just from an election. It was conducted very well. There are people who were agitated and they appealed. I am talking within the framework of our laws. It is not a matter of being heckled. There was a petition and the Supreme Court pronounced itself that the fifth President of this Republic is His Excellency William Samoei Ruto – this is undisputed. When you listen to why there should be demonstrations, I actually read a lot of hypocrisy. They are talking about the high cost of living in Kenya just six months into the presidency of Hon. William Samoei Ruto. These are things that were perpetrated by the former regime."
