    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, those are his own conclusions. He is too much ahead of me because that is not my thought. I am only stating what has happened in this country. We have had brutal killings and attacks by the police in the past and we should be so loud and caring. That is all I am saying. It is me today and you tomorrow. Therefore, nobody should come out thinking that at the end, we are happy that anybody was hurt. So, can we stop it once and for all and speak as loudly as possible at all times? That is what I am saying. There are times we spoke so loudly but we were in the battle alone. So, I emphasize this so that it is for all of us. At this particular time, it is our Sen. Malalah, Hon. Gikaria, former Cabinet Secretary (CS) Echesa and hon. Murunga but the same is happening to the citizens. We should be so loud at all times and defend the rule of law at all times. I am saying this because I remember this Senate watering down laws, not thinking that at the end of the day, we were watering down some of these elections laws, and it will come back to haunt all of us. So, this is our business and we should get as serious as it sounds. Therefore, I support this Statement. In the same vein, as was indicated earlier on, we should come up with a solution so that it is not just a Statement. I am happy that it is the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights who has come up very strongly. Let us come up with the legal measures to ensure that this does not happen to a Senator, a hon. Member or another Kenyan."
