    "content": "The fact is that the arrests were done by the Government and the prosecution was done by the Director of Public Prosecutions. There are two issues here. The first one is the original arrests, which touch on the basic rights of Kenyans, and the second one is the conduct of the so-called “activists”, who were there at that time. I say “so-called” not, in the least, to try and demean them. That is what I am saying right now, in the sense that they are activists in their own minds and hearts, and in the hearts of many Kenyans, fighting for people’s rights. Whether they infringed on the rights of other people in the process, it is a matter which the House cannot debate now. Nonetheless, I think the Prime Minister should be the right person to deal with this matter. What the Deputy Leader of Government Business needs to do is convey the same – that the Chair strongly feels that the Prime Minister has to deal with this matter because of the lacuna we are in right now due to the application of the old Constitution and the new Constitution."
