    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security regarding the fracas that occurred during the Gor Mahia versus AFC Leopards football match on 20th October 2011 that saw several private cars pelted with stones. In the statement, the Minister should clarify the following points:- (a) the investigations carried out to ascertain whether there was a group outside the soccer fans which had a motive to bring enmity between the supporters of the two teams, who in the recent past have had cordial relations regardless of the outcome of the matches; of course they have been referring to each other as “in-law” and in Kiswahili as “ shemeji”; (b) the reason why the kick off was after 5.00 p.m. despite the fact that the State function graced by the President and the Rt. hon. Prime Minister had ended way before 1.00 p.m; (c) the measures put in place to safeguard soccer lovers; today there is a football match going on between Gor Mahia and Sofapaka at the City Stadium, which was to kick-off at 4.00 p.m. In future, we do not want a repeat of the events that occurred on 20th October, 2011. As you understand, many of us have nowhere to go and, therefore, go to the stadiums to watch teams play. That is something that we want to do and we can only do it if we have security in our stadia."
