    "content": "Order, hon. Members! I think the Assistant Minister's point should not arise. This House is the representative of all people. Whatever action it takes will be for all Kenyans. It may be that the outrage here culminated with the direct assault of this House; the institution of Parliament. If the institution of Parliament collapses, then this country collapses too. Therefore, we must guard this institution vigorously and with all the force we can muster. I lead from the front to safeguard Parliamentary integrity and the respect of this House. It is okay to insult individuals. However, to insult the whole House, the institution of Parliament, is another issue altogether. In whatever you do, obviously, all the grievances of the Kenyan society should be considered. The Assistant Minister happens to be my local Member of Parliament. For the interest of this House, the particular individual we are discussing claims to also come from the area of my local Member of Parliament, which is my area too. He comes from our district and I know that maybe, the insults to the House were perpetuated by that fact. However, that is irrelevant. The relevant bit is; the effect of not only the uncontrolled utterances of this individual and others, as the Minster says, but also instances where some media houses have specialised on publishing lies which, actually, amount to inciting the public. It is not one individual who does this. I think when you address this issue, you must make it general and fit the individual concerned to that generality. Thank you. We will now leave it at that."
