    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to comment on this issue. I want to thank Hon. Tim Wetangula for bringing this Petition. This whole issue has to be looked into. I saw a video of the police caning university students. They were beating them up. Which law was the police using? I was perplexed. I want to plead with the committees that are going to look into this thing to go further and make general recommendations as to how the police attitude towards the public during these demonstrations is supposed to be and how it is supposed to conform to the law. Yesterday, I saw in the news lawyers expressing their disgust by marching following the unfortunate abduction of a lawyer. The police did not beat them up. One other issue I want to comment about is the behaviour of university students. This House must make recommendations. The Cabinet Secretary for Education has shown such a cowardly act by saying that teachers and boards should negotiate with arsonists. University students are adults. When I saw them burning Government property, their own property, that was a criminal act. One of the contenders for the Students Organization of Nairobi University (SONU) office is a young man from my village called “Jacobs”. The other one also comes from my constituency. I did not like what I saw. As a leader in this country, I must recommend what needs to happen."
