"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with you that there is no Statement to the extent that the Vice Chair has not read a Statement to the House. However, she has also made very categorical statements from where she sits. First, she has said that those people have homes. Secondly - it is erroneous in law - she has said that because they have rights, they cannot be removed from the gate. I do not know what law applies there. There is no law that says that you can become a nuisance, pose a security risk or endanger the lives of children and women simply because you have rights. Rights are subordinate to other rights. If the extempore statement made by the good Vice Chair is anything to go by, then we have enough facts to continue to interrogate this matter. The question we are asking is very simple; is it very difficult for the Government to get a holding ground away from the gate of Parliament and take those Kenyans there, provide them with food, some security, some water and any other facilities that require people to lead a near decent life? Is it very difficult for the Government to do that?"
