    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My point has been, as much as we want to litigate, again the word I used before, the makers of our Constitution had history to go by. I also agree that there are nations that do it differently. However, the current Constitution that we enjoy requires that you inform police officers so that they can give you security when you are picketing or demonstrating. As much as I do not support any violence, we were all here and we saw what happened last year. My point is that we cannot sit here and pretend that the person who caused this is Hon. Rigathi Gachagua. That cannot be the assumption. We must be honest and true to ourselves. There are people here who are disenfranchised and feeling that they are not being treated the way they should be treated in this Republic. They are our young children. If you do not listen to them, we will be the ones to pay in future because this nation is for all of us. If we do not listen, I think we have a bigger problem. But if we need to look for a bogeyman, if we need someone to blame, it is all well and good. We will blame them, say they caused this-and- that, petition and call for their arrest, but that will not take the fundamental problem away. I want to be on record as having stated that, in this House, we must be true to ourselves. We have not heard of a single arrest of the goons who were out there with rungus and all manner of weapons. Again, if we sit here and pretend that those goons went to a shop, bought those"
