    "content": "The CBC is currently unconstitutional and can only be implemented when electricity and internet are available in every home and school in the country. Only then will you say the children are being served equally? Therefore, that is a matter the Government should take care of. On abductions, I would like to say that there are abductions in the country. I participated in the case of Bob Njagi, representing the Law Society of Kenya. Bob Njagi was abducted for more than 30 days. In his abduction, there were other people. Therefore, the police cannot deny that there are no abductions in the country. They should give the President proper information that extrajudicial activities and killings have happened. If the President wants that information, he should have a one-on-one with Bob Njagi. You know that quite a number of people are still missing in the country. Quite a number of people in City Mortuary, whose bodies have not been claimed. The other day, the Government went to court on the issue of disposal of the bodies. I have a question pending for the new Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration of National Government. They should have taken fingerprints of all these people, and everybody would have been informed through their chief that they were about their missing child in Nairobi. Similarly, on the femicide and even the abductions of ladies in the country, Article 37 of the Constitution must indeed be followed. As the President said, so long as you are demonstrating within the law, then you should not be confronted. What we saw is a proposal of law in Parliament to control demonstrations against Article 37. Therefore, it is important that we all follow the law and listen, as the President said. One of the major things that will come out clearly on this particular issue is the rule of law. The rule of law anticipates fairness, especially in elections. Therefore, the urgent formation of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is important. It has to be done urgently. At the same time, many projects in the country have not taken started. The Senator for Nyeri County has talked of an upcoming dam. I want to say that Thwake Dam and Konza City are not yet completed."
