"content": "because he kept repeating “unlawful assembly”. Let me remind Sen. Haji that Article 37 of the new Constitution - it is apparent that they are using the old one - states as follows:- “Every person has the right, peaceably and unarmed, to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to public authorities.” Here is a case of people of Machakos County who are doing exactly what this Constitution says. The police took the law into their hands to prevent people who were enjoying what the Constitution of Kenya provides. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what my friend read is what he and I used to do many years ago and those days are gone. On the 21st March, 2016, I and other Members of Parliament were clobbered by the police in Kibwezi for doing what the Constitution provides. So, would I be in order to ask the Chairman to go to the person who gave him that statement and draw to his attention to this Constitution and come back with a different response? Thank you."
