National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has moved to assure the international community that Kenya remains committed to upholding the rights of its citizens ahead of the anti-government protests slated for tomorrow in remembrance of the youth who lost their lives last year. Wetang'ula made the remarks during a courtesy call with outgoing Acting US Ambassador Mark Dillard, who raised concerns about the country's preparedness and the role of Parliament in handling the unfolding situation. The speaker expressed hope that the protests would remain peaceful and reaffirmed the House's willingness to address the concerns raised by demonstrators. "This talk of a memorial for the last disturbances-if they are peaceful demonstrations, it shouldn't be an issue, on the issues they have raised, Parliament is ready to address them, if it degenerates into violence, it is out of my hands and other agencies will handle that, but I hope it will be okay," said Wetang'ula.
