    "content": "I also have a small Statement sought by the Member for Kieni, hon. Kanini Kega. I hope he is in the House. I can see him. He requested for a Statement on the subject of alleged plans by some Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to stage mass civil disobedience in the country. My answer is very short and it is a summary. It is both from the Ministry of Interior Coordination of National Government and the office of the Inspector General. The Government is not aware of any plans by NGOs to cause national wide civil disobedience in the event that the President attends or fails to attend the International Criminal Court (ICC) However, the Inspector General of the National Police Service and the Director of Criminal Investigations Department are investigating the said allegations. Further, the Government is not aware of any foreign organizations, embassies or even individuals who could be funding NGOs to conduct mass protests in the event the President and his Deputy attend the trial at the same time. So far, the police have not identified any foreign bodies or organizations that could be funding any civil society organizations neither have they identified the local recipients who could be benefitting from the alleged funding. Finally, the Government will not condone any acts of violence or planned demonstrations to disrupt peace in the country. All demonstrations and meetings are regulated by the Officers Commanding Stations countrywide. Organizers of any meetings or demonstrations must notify their respective OCSs in their places of command who will then assess the security situation in the area. All demonstrations which are not notified to the OCS are deemed unlawful and the organizers are dealt with according to the law."
