    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, one issue I would like the Assistant Minister to address is Gazette Notice No.751 of 1963 which set aside the land in question to be utilized by the Director of Veterinary Services. I believe this Gazette Notice has not been revoked. Could he confirm, therefore, whether it has been revoked? If it has not been revoked, it means the people are there illegally. They acquired public property illegally. So far, the people who have been arrested and are languishing in remand unable to raise a bail of Kshs500,000 are a student of the university and two workers. Those people will never be able to raise that money. We asked the Assistant Minister earlier to consider allowing those people to go home while the matter is being pursued by the relevant people in authority. They are suffering, yet they were arrested four hours after the incident took place. The burning took place at 5.30 a.m. and the police were alerted by the club. They came four hours later, at 10.00 a.m. and arrested a member of the club who was showering. This was a diplomat from the United States of America (USA). He, however, had to be released because he is not a Kenyan. Why do we have these double standards where you release foreigners because you fear them and allow poor Kenyans to suffer yet they are innocent? Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are the issue I would like addressed---"
