    "content": "This calls into question the next issue of the dignity of the Houses of Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. It is interesting to note that a permit was issued by an officer in the city to allow for the movement of pigs around the city. This is an issue that speaks volumes about an affront against the dignity of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the last ten years, you and I were hon. Members of the lower House. The Speaker of the National Assembly came out strongly in defending the dignity of the National Assembly. Hon. Senators, I do not know what has become of our country. In just as many days, we have seen our little girls being put on international television that they sleep with dogs. The people pushing this – I saw whites in the background. Today, again, as they call hon. Members and hon. Senators “pigs”, I also saw some whites in the background. Kenya is no longer the same insignificant little country that the white man left in 1963. Today, in terms of population, Kenya is ranked number 31 in the world. We are only number six to Nigeria as an African country. Small countries like Norway and Sweden cannot be compared to Kenya. As wananchi enjoy their freedom, we would like you to take this time, together with the Speaker of the National Assembly, and remind them that in the Lower House, the Speaker made a ruling and indicated the furthest that people who are picketing can approach Parliament. He also ruled what a demonstrator needs to do before he or she demonstrates outside Parliament. It is very easy for a suicide bomber to take advantage of this kind of situation and we shall all go or some of us will go the way we lost Sen. Mutula Kilonzo. I beg that you give direction on this important matter."
