    "content": "There is a lot of desire like the last political education we had on our streets by the Gen Zs. When they were doing political education on the Finance Bill, most of them were violated, injured and hurt. As I speak about that, I also want to speak about what was in the media today. We saw in the media that people are disappearing. In this country, people are being abducted and violated. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for me, I would like to draw the attention of this House to an important Article of the Constitution which lays the blame where it should be. I request you to allow me to read Article 131(1) (2), and part of Article 132(1) says- The President— (a) is the Head of State and Government; ( b ) exercises the executive authority of the Republic, with the assistance of the Deputy President and Cabinet Secretaries; ( c ) is the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defense Forces; ( d ) is the Chairperson of the National Security Council; and ( e ) is a symbol of national unity. Article 131 is on the authority of the President. It says- The President shall— ( a ) respect, uphold and safeguard this Constitution; ( b ) safeguard the sovereignty of the Republic; ( c ) promote and enhance the unity of the nation; ( d ) promote respect for the diversity of the people and communities of Kenya; and, ( e ) ensure the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law."
