    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. Demonstrations are enshrined in our Constitution. Clearly, anybody demonstrating is not breaking the law, but there is a limit as to how far you can stretch that freedom. What we have seen in Kenya in the last few months is that, as soon as there is a demonstration in town, the town becomes a no-go zone. We basically close down the City of Nairobi. That must come to an end. What I really wish to ask of the Committee that will be listening to this Petition is to clearly draw a parallel between demonstration and how far the law is being stretched so that if your car is burnt down along Uhuru Highway, somebody must take responsibility. Secondly, when there are issues at the University of Nairobi, they should not be turned into a fracas in the city. They must be confined to the University of Nairobi. Hon. Speaker, I beg to support.
