    "content": "Hon. Speaker, you have given directions and I want to add. It happened in Burkina Faso where demonstrators burnt the National Assembly. It also happened in Gabon where over 1,500 demonstrators went to Parliament, ransacked everything and burnt all the offices. It also happened in Paraguay where the congress of that country was burned. So, we are talking from experience. Yesterday, for strange reasons, I know Hon. Arati and his team with their demonstrators were going round Parliament from one street to the other until I asked why they should do it in Parliament. I agree that security must be enhanced. I also agree with Hon. Ichung’wah that this is where the majority of the leadership of the Jubilee Coalition is. We are under obligation that, as you protect Parliament, we also must raise the protection for our Members of Parliament, so that Parliament becomes an institution that is respected. I am sure those Members who are demonstrating are within their right, but Parliament must be protected not only during demonstrations, but also the security of our Members through your office must be enhanced."
