"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this country has passed certain protocols already on how demolitions are to be done. They exist. I will even read it out for you. First, there was a task-force that was put together three years ago led by the United Nations (UN) Habitat that brought the protocols of how such demolitions need to be done. I will share this with the Senate and I will place it before the Senate Business Committee for consideration. It is not a lack of law, protocols or standards; it is just impunity and heartlessness. Since the CS Matiang’i said that the demolitions be stopped, the person who authorized it should be held personally culpable. I will share these protocols here, but people are saying that today the law is a mere suggestion. No; the law is not a suggestion. The reason why a senior counsel will tell you that is the rule of law - even you, Madam Speaker, are a Senior Lawyer and you know it. If it was about subjectivity, then we would then go to anarchy. So, let us follow the law."
