    "content": "congratulate and thank them for calling off the demonstrations because that is a mark of leadership. We are all elected and are capable in this House. Without pre-empting debate, I know there is also the talk of extra-parliamentary, inter- parliamentary and within Parliament bi-partisan approaches. I want to encourage all the Members of the bipartisan team ably led by Hon. Otiende Amollo and Hon. Gitonga Murugara that we have the ability and capacity to engage on all the matters that have come before that Committee. We have capacity to resolve these issues without having to throw words at each other, protest or blackmail the country using violent protests. We can, indeed, engage and resolve all these issues. I want to trust that Hon. Murugara, who is the Chairperson of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC), and his colleague, who will be the co-chairperson, will steer these discussions in the right direction to ensure that we never have to engage again in the streets. In closing, I take this opportunity to ask the Ministry of Interior and National Administration and the Inspector-General of Police that if there is any Member of Parliament whose security has been withdrawn for other reasons, they should consider reinstating that security. However, I must emphasis this: Please let us not misuse our officers. If you want to go for demonstrations or other errands at night, allow your officer to go home to his family while you take care of yourself and your other business not with armed police officers. With that, Hon. Speaker I thank you."
