    "content": "So, the sections that provide for trespass, for example, are still valid. As far as I am concerned, hon. Members and Minister, you are under duty to enforce the law as is in place. The law pertaining to traffic, including obstruction of traffic, and traffic includes pedestrians in motor vehicles, is in force and must be upheld. The law relating to assault is in force and must be upheld. If an hon. Member of Parliament, for example, is subjected to ill-treatment by known members of the public, those members of the public commit offenses and must be liable to arrest if evidence is found against them; for example those who are captured on camera maltreating their fellow citizens, who may be Members of Parliament, actually commit offenses. Those responsible for upholding the full force of the law must actually take the requisite action. So, Minister, I urge you to, without fear, enforce the law. Let the courts decide who is innocent, but enforce the law, you must. The passage ways leading to Parliament must be open to traffic that is allowed to access Parliament at all times. We will respect citizens’ right to demonstrate but, obviously, not to infringe on the rights of other citizens who equally are entitled to enjoy their full rights. That is my position and, please, comply with those directions."
