    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to ask for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security regarding an incident on 24th October this year at Sai Rock Hotel, Mombasa, where the Prime Minister was having a stakeholders’ forum. As a lady known as Farida Rashid was leaving the forum, acid was thrown at her by some youths. I would like the Minister to tell this House why arrests of those known youths have not taken place. Two, he should tell us why these people who assaulted and harmed this lady are being let to go scot free and whether this incident is related to an earlier incident where bodyguards of a prominent local Mombasa politician fired at demonstrators, killing one of them and whether the investigations in that case have brought in anything. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister may also wish to confirm that Farida, at that forum, had asked the Government to step up war against drugs. The residents and this lady are worried that Mombasa has been taken over by cartels, and he should tell the House whether he and the police are ready to uphold the rights of the residents of Mombasa, and crack down on drug peddlers."
