    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Whatever we are discussing today is very important. We need to conclusively address this matter. Policemen and policewomen are human beings. They also have families at home. Their job is to protect citizens and their businesses. If you use a sling and a stone to hit a police officer in front of you, are you not aware that you are also hitting a father, someone’s husband or someone’s child? As we discuss deaths, we should remember that even police officers are persons who do not deserve to be killed. There is no way we can ever condone militia to take advantage of demonstrations to hurt others. You would not wish on anyone what we saw on television. We saw police officers bleeding and being carried to hospital. It was not fair. If people want to demonstrate according to Article 37 of the Constitution, they should do so in an orderly manner. Do not come out as thugs and criminals snatching people’s handbags and hurting them. It is not fair. People are supposed to be demonstrating on the roads, but they were out there hurting school children during the purported demonstrations. They pick a date to demonstrate, not caring that Form Four, Standard Eight, and Grade Six students will be sitting their examinations in two months’ time. They do not care about anyone else apart from themselves and their benefit. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
