    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for protecting me. I support the presidential directive that we carry out a crackdown. I want to appeal to all Members of the National Assembly from central Kenya, Nyanza, northern Kenya and coast to take action and the law enforcement officers will take charge. However, let us make sure that there is no destruction of property. Let this be done in an orderly way. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must also realize that corruption - I thank Hon. Waititu for pointing it out –regarding illicit liquor and such things is being perpetrated by law enforcement officers such as chiefs and police officers. In Kitui where I come from, we have seen policemen selling sand from River Tiva and people from Kwamutunga have complained to me. They escort those lorries and take money which belongs to the youth. The chiefs and policemen will get their cut where there is liquor. These are the people who should be sacked. I will not say what Hon. Ganya said that they should be transferred. They should be sacked the way it was done in central Kenya and others employed. This is because there are very many Kenyans who are willing to come and serve. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, legitimate business that has been registered should be protected from vandalism because there are those youth who want to take the law into their hand. These youth also want to take advantage of the situation to loot. There are also business opponents who want to bring their competitors down. If there is a business that does clean business, let it get protection from the Government so that it is not destroyed."
