    "content": "On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is gratifying to hear that discussions are going on. I hope that this has been captured in the HANSARD and the Assistant Minister is genuine about it. However, this afternoon at about 2.25 p.m., the aggrieved civil servants came to Parliament. Clause 37 of the Constitution allows every Kenyan the right to peacefully, unarmed to assemble, demonstrate, picket and to present petitions to public authorities. While at the gate of Parliament, riot police from Central Police Station descended on them and arrested their leaders and the ones who were arrested include Rehema Ibrahim, Fernice Makori, Alvin Jared, Rhoda Okeyo and Janet Onyango. As I speak, these Kenyans are in custody. Could the Assistant Minister then tell the House that when he leaves the Chamber, he will co- ordinate with his counterpart in the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security to ask for the release of these persons? They were exercising a constitutional right."
