Hon. Deputy Speaker, doctors have been demonstrating and no property has been destroyed. Nurses have been on the streets and teachers too, yet there has not been any destruction of property or loss of lives. Whenever we have political demonstration especially when we reject the outcome of elections, there are problems. We did an election, a political transition in 2002, but because we accepted the outcome of the elections, we did not have demonstrations or any problems. There was smooth transition of power from the late President Moi to former President Kibaki. In 2007, 2013 and 2017, we lost cumulatively ...

Remember the issue of the International Criminal Court (ICC) cases. In those cases, we knew who the competitors were and who the price was to be given to. However, we ended up having suspects that were not even competitors in the elections. They did not benefit directly from that election because we misused our rights to demonstrate and picket. That is why I support this Bill so that we can bring public order when we reject the results of elections or when we accept results of elections. We may say that my rights are more important than the rights of ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, we must bring order. Anybody organising demonstrations should bear the burden. We cannot have people being direct beneficiaries of such demonstrations yet they do not bear the burden. In 2007, we know those who got the ultimate price of the nusu mkate and nusu mkeka kind of government arrangement. They were not the suspects in the ICC. They were not arraigned in any court in this country. We knew they were only two in this country; namely, Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga. However, none of them was arraigned in court. Uhuru Kenyatta was not a beneficiary. Ruto ...

He is out of order. He is misleading the House. He was at the University of Nairobi (UoN) when I was elected the chairman of the Students Organisation National Union (SONU), the University of Nairobi. I have run for several offices. It is not a must that it is only Parliament that is the office that can be ran for. I was even the president of SONU. I was a president. I was not a Member of Parliament. So, I was above all of you. Hon. John Mbadi was actually at UoN when I ran and he knew I won ...
