"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to make my contribution on this Motion. As Parliament, we have to condemn with the strongest possible terms what happened yesterday. One, we must rise and be a Parliament and a nation that solves problems. We must not allow some people to settle political scores because we are a little bit relaxed in giving justice. I am talking about justice to the families that lost their children. We need to organise for national prayers and give them compensation and shame the devil in broad day light. Two, the police tried. Yesterday they exercised restraint. They must be beefed up in terms of their numbers even if that will require additional resources. I came to Parliament yesterday and saw the work that they were doing. I want to applaud them. However, they need to be beefed up in numbers so that we do not have a situation where when things get out of hand, we ask the General Service Unit (GSU) to come in. I witnessed next to Parliament the people who hide behind Gen. Zs. When the Gen. Zs were walking to Parliament, they found police men who were of their age and they allowed them to walk with them and all of them clapped. The people who exercise hooliganism are not Gen. Zs. Three, besides the women who were raped, the highest number of people who lost property yesterday were women. The majority of the people who confessed on television were the women folks."
