    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have agreed that those two gentlemen - they cannot even be gentlemen - committed obscenities and uttered words that are preaching hatred and there is no doubt about that. As to whether they should be arrested, the first thing was to identify them. If the Senator heard me correctly, I said the IG has confirmed that they have been identified and only an imminent arrest is remaining. In fact, when I asked the IG where they come from and he told me it is not necessary for now because their arrest is imminent. If we can be patient up to Thursday, perhaps by the time when the Chair is coming with the substantive information tomorrow, maybe things will have changed. On the question of pulling down the offending material, while I agree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., there is too much information on social media against the Senator, myself and others which we have been wishing would be pulled down. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can control some of the information on social media sites but not all. For example, if you look at those videos that we are talking about; the ones that are in the phones through WhatsApp, it is not easy. It is agreeable that the Senator can bring the exact website he wants me to take to the necessary Government enforcement agencies to bring down. However, even if we bring down one today, Sen. Wambua who has been in the media will tell you that you remove one blog today, another useless blogger posts the same and so forth. I think we should focus on dealing with the perpetrators who must be apprehended and punished for their crimes."
