"content": "The Constitution allows us as a Parliament to sit even in Garissa, Mandera or Kilifi to listen to the Kenyans. I am happy as we talk of the Senate Mashinani, we will be doing it in Busia Country. We have done it in Makueni, Turkana and Uasin Gishu. Kenyans should know that Parliament is ready to listen to them. Under Article 126 of the Constitution, Parliament can sit anywhere within the borders of the Republic of Kenya. Even if they want us to sit in Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC), we can sit there and listen to Kenyans, especially the Gen Z. Number three, from the onset, I send my deepest condolences from my family, myself and the great people of Nandi County to many Kenyans who have lost their lives. It is unfortunate and I wish quick recovery to many Kenyans who have endured injuries. Even when we exercise Article 37, the law states that it must be peaceful and unarmed. The first few days when the young people came out, the protests were largely peaceful. It was later infiltrated by the criminals. We have seen incidents where the security officers have been injured. Do you remember the Inspector of the Police that lost both arms? We have a number of police officers who were injured, and some have lost their lives, as well as the protesters. Even as you protest under Article 37, which is your right, peaceable and unarmed, let us resist the temptation of allowing goons and criminals to infiltrate. I challenge the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and other security agencies: Should anybody who is a criminal or goon who is looting public property--- I know the business The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
