    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the allegation was that accidents had been taking place along that road because of lack of bumps. They were therefore, demanding that bumps be erected. When they were told that, that message would be communicated to the relevant Government department to do the same, they did not want to end their riot and go home. They wanted to block the road for as long as they could be there. The police had no choice but to disperse them. It is important to know, especially for hon. Members who believe that rioting is lawful, that it is wrong. Members of the public are allowed by the Constitution to demonstrate but within the confines of the law. There are limitations. For instance, you cannot blockade a main highway where innocent people who are not aware that the road is blocked can come, cause an accident and lives get lost. For public safety, and this is stated in the Constitution, your rights to demonstrate are limited by the need for the public and the rioters to be safe."
