    "content": "Finally, Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is an issue of grazers who are being arrested and locked up. I am talking about kangaroo courts. Police officers, the KWS officers and other people with some kind of authority, even the Kenya Revenue Authority officers, have decided to have kangaroo courts in Kenya. We need to ask ourselves whether our country really believes in the rule of law or not. Why is it that somebody creates a law and uses it to punish our people unnecessarily? If the law is clear that they should be fined, let them be fined and released. However, being kept in there tells me one thing, that the officer’s intention is not to get justice, but money through a bribe. That is where the problem is. Finally, Members have talked about double standards. Hon. Haika said that there are some people who graze their animals in the reserves, but others cannot. These are double standards. We need to ensure that everyone is treated equally in this country. Let there be no double standards. Everybody is a shareholder who must get his fair share. If we are going to graze our animals, let all of us do it, but not certain ‘special’ people. Thank you for giving me the chance to contribute."
