    "content": " Hon. Speaker, as a veteran demonstrator, I empathise and condole with the families that lost their loved ones. Article 37 is very clear on the right to demonstrate peaceably and unarmed. But that right does not extend to an attempt to establish a government other than by law. Article 3(2) is very clear and I read, “Any attempt to establish a government otherwise than in accordance with this Constitution is unlawful”. We must be very clear on the difference between demonstrations and anarchy. What we saw in Mombasa were demonstrations. What we saw in all those other places mentioned in the Motion was anarchy. It cannot be tolerated. Hon. Speaker, we condemn the hiring of goons. We condemn the torching of courts, police stations and houses. We condemn the extreme provocation of the police. I also condemn the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) for stopping the live coverage. The CAK cannot do that in the face of a very clear judgment by the court. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
