"content": " Hon. Speaker, it is indeed, with an extremely heavy heart that I have to address you again this afternoon. If you recall, this morning I rose to plead with you to give directives to whoever is concerned to remove the blockade that is around Parliament. The situation has now turned from bad to worse. If you may not know, my office is just next to Mzee Jomo Kenyatta Mausoleum. The whole of this afternoon, I have not been able to sit in the office. The police are firing teargas canisters, and there are no people. They have blocked the entire Parliament Road. I am not talking about town. I am talking about Parliament. In the morning, you directed the Clerk and the Serjeant-at-Arms to establish what the situation is and report back to you. I do not know if they ever reported back to you. I am not concerned with whatever else is happening for now. My concern is that Parliament has been blockaded. Parliament has been put under siege. This is creating unnecessary tension in the country."
