    "content": " I am properly guided Hon. Temporary Speaker. When Mackenzie began his fake church, issues were raised about his conduct. It was very easy for the Government of Kenya that time to just uproot him then but we allowed this man to germinate into a very huge tree that we are struggling to cut today. We are debating about Mackenzie but we forget that we have another fake man in Tongaren calling himself Jesus. Women have abandoned their husbands to go and make that home their first home claiming that they are living with Jesus and we are not uprooting that man now. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Government of Kenya has tolerated this type of behaviour for a very long time. It is not just Paul Mackenzie. We have got very many things that begin as small things. As we speak today, the same way the Government of Kenya tolerated Mackenzie is the same way we are tolerating people who are engaging in urban banditry, economic sabotage and anarchy. From today, I advise the Inspector-General of Police and the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Coordination that they should only communicate to these Kenyans through a charge-sheet in so far as this matter is concerned, and in so far as those other people who engage in anarchy are concerned. As a Government, we must deal with criminal activities at the point of germination and not to allow them to grow into monsters that eat into too much of Government resources to deal with it. Today morning, we heard a statement about what is happening in Sudan. The people who are causing havoc in Sudan are known. Even us here, we must have responsible agencies that should be able to identify criminals and arrest them before they execute their criminal activities. The Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, my very good friend, Hon. Owen Baya brought this matter at the right time and he alluded to the fact that previously Mackenzie was being protected by senior people in Government but today the tables have turned. Hon. Owen himself is a senior person in this Government. He has said that the man should be arrested. As I finish, the same way we tolerated Paul Mackenzie is the same way we are also tolerating Hon. Raila Odinga and Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta. These are anarchists, they should be arrested before they germinate into a very huge tree that will terrorise this country. I support Hon. Temporary Speaker."
