"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when this matter came up on Tuesday, we got the assurance first from the Chief Whip of the Majority side, a man I highly respect, a former Minister for Internal Security who, in my opinion, did very well as the Minister. He has said that, yes, deployment had been done as per Article 241(3)(c), but because Parliament – and it is in the HANSARD - was on recess at that time, what is anticipated under Article 241(3)(c) will be done within seven days. Now the Leader of the Majority Party is trying to change course and telling us that what is happening in Lamu - and by the way, for your information, is also happening in Mombasa - is just an emergency. It is not an emergency as contemplated. So my clarification is: When is that request going to be brought to this House? We have all sworn to protect the Constitution – everybody in this House has sworn – and we are not saying what is happening should not be done. But what we are insisting on is that the Constitution must be followed. It is not an emergency. We have all gone to school."
