    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this ruling should not hold us back. This House is united in condemning what is happening around this country. There is fear in saying that the police must do their work. If there is any leader, Christian or Muslim, who is interested in having us have religious wars, that leader must be brought to book. In any civilized nation, the police do not hesitate to do their work. I have already alluded to human rights. Our Constitution has provided for everybody’s right to everything, particularly freedom of religion. The Government must move quickly and conform to the timelines of the implementation of the Constitution. Only last week, I said here that when we see youths beating somebody in Ndhiwa, their pictures appear on the front page of the newspapers and on television and nobody is arrested, this sends signals to somebody in Mombasa that it is okay to destroy property and you get away with it. When we see people beating up Miguna in Mombasa and a guy is even wearing a jacket written “destroyer”, he is abusing somebody’s human rights. This is fundamental. I want to plead with all of us that, we as leaders, must lead this country to run away from things that will make us destroy our country. Muslims and Christians have lived together for centuries."
