    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said at the end of my Ministerial Statement that we are investigating all the aspects of that incident. We want to know who were involved. We want to know whether those particular youths were ordinary youths in Kisii regalia or they were criminals. All those aspects are being investigated. On the issue of inspecting a guard of honour, if it took place, we are also investigating. I do not think there is any criminal offence related to inspecting a guard of honour. But we are investigating every aspect. If we find evidence incriminating individuals who were involved in those acts of violence, the law will take its course. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also need to ask politicians here not to be selective, when they are protesting against violence. There is violence everywhere. The other day, there was a political rally in Kibera and youths were pelting people with stones. Unless we behave responsibly, the police will not be able to contain those situations. The police will not be able to deal with a culture. It is an entrenched culture where politicians use thugs to take care of their meetings and deal with their opponents. That is where the buck stops. It stops with all the leaders from both sides of the political divide."
