    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for allowing me to continue from where I had stopped yesterday in regard to this Motion on gazettement of areas and streets for demonstrations and picketing. I am supporting this Motion because we, Kenyans, have not interpreted our rights correctly. We have also not embraced the purpose of demonstrations and picketing. If you go to the developed world, the European countries or even America, people demonstrate in an orderly fashion against some things. It is mostly to express their feelings against a government’s policy, order, or anything. They do placards and billboards and put on t-shirts to express their dissatisfaction or what they would like the Government or any other arm of a public body to do. Instead of shouting and making noise, the placards and t-shirts speak for themselves. I remember some time back when we were in Washington DC, some people were demonstrating against the UN. They came with placards with inscriptions of the messages they wanted to pass. They had t-shirts which were equally inscribed with what they were complaining about. Nobody was making noise. Whoever passed by them read their t-shirts and placards and understood their ache. The delegates were reading the same. When we went to the conference hall, those issues were addressed. Some of them were taken positively."
