    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday you ordered that in the interim, I make a response on an issue related to a song that I do not understand. I have only heard that is spreads hate speech against anybody who is a Kamba, and it is purportedly sang by a Kikuyu speaker. It does not mean that they are Kikuyus. I contacted the Inspector General of Police. I did not do it alone, but we did it together with the Vice Chairperson of the Committee, Sen. (Rev.) Naomi Waqo who has even more information. The Inspector General of Police has said that the police have established the identity of the singers. The said singes have run into some hiding, but they are being pursued and they are going to be arrested anytime from now. The second part of the question was whether the information can be pulled down from wherever it is. The Inspector General of Police, himself, told me that it is impossible to pull down the information because it is all over. It is in WhatsApp for people, different blogs and places. It will be impossible to just do it without proper legal mechanisms taking place. The necessary orders will be sought for action once those people are arrested. They are going to be arrested soon. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his experience as a police officer for over thirty years, the Inspector General of Police told me that the more this issue is also discussed at the highest levels, the more curious people are to receive it. It is circulating in WhatsApp groups. People are asking what the song is all about and so forth. I like what the Senator for Makueni County said on his Facebook. He referred to the message without reposting it on his Facebook. He even cautioned his readers. So that we do not satisfy the bad manners of the singers, he encouraged that there was no need for them to seek it until legal action is done. So, efforts are being made to resolve this issue. If you allow me, the Vice Chairperson can also add one word because she is the one who is going to give the comprehensive answer going forward. Proceed, Sen. (Rev.) Waqo."
