    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will begin by telling Hon. Junet that the Kenya Kwanza Government has no desire or plans to enlist the services of goons. Those who enlist the services of goons and anarchy are well known in this country. I want to join you in saying that the police should and must act fairly, objectively and in line with the law. I thank Hon. Rozaah Buyu for bringing this Motion, not necessarily to discuss the police, but to have an opportunity to have a conversation and a debate on violence and its use as a currency for political engagement in this country. We have all been very keen to quote Article 37 of the Constitution on the right to picket and demonstrate, but conveniently, our brothers leave out a very critical part of that provision in the Constitution, that you have the right to demonstrate and picket peaceably and unarmed. What we have witnessed in this country in the last seven or so months is not demonstrations and picketing but sheer anarchy. It is rioting and anarchy."
