    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I laud your statement and extend our sympathies to Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for the tribulation that he has gone through. I would, however, add, like Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o, the Senator for Kisumu County has said, that your statement is very good. However, it must go beyond this Chamber. We request you to write to the Attorney-General as the principal legal advisor of Government to properly advise the agencies of the state as to what the law says. I also urge you to copy that letter, or write separately, to the Inspector- General of Police to put his officers under check and order. Equally important, I urge you to tell the Serjeant-at-Arms, like Sen. Wamatangi has said, that strangers should not be allowed to come to Parliament to execute whatever warrants they may have. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, things start slowly like this. You have cited the case of the late hon. Shikuku and the late hon. Seroney. Hon. Seroney was, in fact, arrested as he was walking out of that Chair in the procession. Similarly, the late hon. Shikuku was arrested after a Parliamentary sitting for what they spoke in the course of the proceedings. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know of the case where a stranger sitting in the Public Gallery kept on pointing a gun at the late hon. Anyona as he was contributing on the Floor of the House because he did not like what hon. Anyona was speaking about. The moment we go that direction, even you, yourself, may not be safe."
