    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of meetings, including church meetings and so forth, what happened in Uhuru, if I can recollect very well and based on the information that I have, the police were notified by the church leaders that it would be a crusade. In fact, the church leaders are the ones who went and gave that notification to be allowed to participate at Uhuru Park. They did not at any one time indicate to the police that the crusade at Uhuru Park was going to be turned into a No political campaign. So, the Government has communicated to them and also conveyed to the church leaders that nobody is going to be stopped from having their meetings. However, it is important that the nature of the meeting that you intend to have is known from the outset, because then it would determine the level of security that will be necessary for that meeting. If you are going to hold a political meeting political tensions can arise. So, it would be necessary to enhance or step up security at such meetings. But if you say that it is a crusade and then it turns out to be a political rally, then you gave the wrong information to the security agencies. Just as much as you may want to blame others, you may also have yourself to blame for giving the wrong information as to the nature of your meeting. So, please, for all Kenyans, let us convey the correct message so that you are given the necessary security."
