    "content": "The economy of this country relies on tourism. When we block our airport, visitors do not come. Our hotels are also affected. We have noticed hotels recording zero admission. A good example is Wild Park Hotel in Laikipia. It has recorded zero admission in many occasions because somebody is trying to fight for his or her right. We lose a lot of money for this country. Impala Park in Kisumu was almost closed because somebody was fighting for his or her right. We should be orderly when we are doing what the law allows. People have lost lives. Article 27 of the Constitution allows everybody right to life. Why should an innocent individual lose his or her life because I want my right? It is not fair. There is too much destruction when we are out there running up and down. We come to this House to fight for budget for development, especially for our roads. But when we are demonstrating, we burn our tarmac which is very expensive. We lose those roads. We also uproot our railway lines and billions of taxpayer’s money is spent on the same. This is not fair."
