"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also wish to extend my condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. I wish a quick recovery to all those who were injured, including our police officers, who put their lives on the line to protect Kenyans and their property. What happened yesterday was disgusting and despicable. It was an organised insurrection against the State. We cannot allow this trend to continue. We have seen demonstrations before in this country, but the recent ones have taken a new and dangerous dimension. Why are they targeting protected areas such as Parliament and the State House? I support the Members who have called for thorough investigations into this matter. All those who were involved must be brought to book. We cannot watch Kenya descend into lawlessness and anarchy. We have no other country. This is our home. In conclusion, I propose that this House bring forth an amendment to designate specific areas for picketing. Let there be formal spaces set aside for demonstrations. It should not be everywhere disturbing peace, destroying property and destabilising businesses. That is unacceptable."
