    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, even the law enforcers must be dealt with when they break the law. Therefore, we cannot say that the law enforcer is implementing something blindly without following the law. This is because these officers have sworn to uphold the law. Chiefs and police officers have sworn to uphold the law. Therefore, they must take care of the people according to the law of the country. We are a law abiding nation and we believe in the Rule of Law. Whoever breaks the law, whether you are the President or whoever, you must be dealt with. We cannot say that the law enforcer should break the law and undermine the constitutional rights of the residents. This is exactly what happened in Kariobangi. Regarding the committee that has been assigned to deal with this, I think it will only be fair that this Committee starts its work now. However, the Committee should work with the Committee on Health. We need to know the opinion of the Cabinet Secretary of Health on what happened because we should have heard him condemning this activity. The reason he needed to condemn is because everything that he has been talking about was violated in Kariobangi at 3.00 p.m. We need the Committee on Health to also deal with this matter so that they interrogate the two Cabinet Secretaries; Cabinet Secretary of Lands on eviction and the Cabinet Secretary of Health on the situation on the ground. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
