    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really beg your indulgence that you allow us to interrogate the Minister on this, considering that Mr. Mwau has actually been pleading with a lot of pain for protection from the Minister. He has been stating this several times in this House. We would like to know whether the Government is taking matters of its citizens very seriously. He believes he has been wronged and he has come to the Floor of the House several times pleading that he be accorded rights and that his rights be protected. We really would like to know whether the Government of Kenya is actually desirous of protecting its citizens against these wild allegations and blacklisting. Alternatively, the Minister should bring actual hard facts to prove that Mr. Mwau is culpable in all these issues other than pleading and hiding behind foreign affairs protocols to injure citizens of this country! We have had several instances in which rights of citizens have been infringed on. For example, recently Mr. Okemo was seeking protection from the courts and he was casually dismissed. There are several others. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would like to hear some more substantive and serious undertakings by the Government and not casual statements like the Minister is making. He has not even told us what is happening in Embakasi. About 15 citizens are still under rubble and today the Minister has spoken but he is telling us nothing about what is happening in Embakasi."
