    "content": "Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be as brief as possible. Those of us who were wondering why the words “national security” were sneaked into the Constitution, now know why. Some people wanted to subject our rights to national security, and now we know why. The view that we are getting from the Government is that we can only enjoy our rights if they are subservient to national security. That is not the law. That is not the Constitution. National security is important. Our rights are absolutely important. The two are not mutually exclusive. We need national security but we also need the rights of Kenyans. This Government cannot be resulting to self help. If the Government of the Republic of Kenya results to self help, what will stop the people from resorting to self help? What will stop anybody from taking the law into their own hands? When the KAA decides to demolish houses, by what lawful authority does it do that? By what lawful authority does the Cabinet authorize, if at all it authorized, the demolition of houses, a disaster? That was not an earthquake. That was a disaster. Imagine the people who went to their houses from work that day and found their houses destroyed? How can you even imagine that? A title deed does not just come about. It goes through 42 offices before it is issued."
