"content": "Hon. Amin, give me a minute. Because of what you have said, even if we tell the Chairman to respond, I am sure that he will not be in a position to do it. What you are saying is a breach of human rights. It is an affront to the Constitution. If anybody is being detained against their free will for a period in excess of what is allowed by the Constitution and the law, the best would be for the Chairman to undertake to invite the Cabinet Secretary or whoever is responsible for that docket, to appear before the Committee and invite you to make those Statements. Those are the people you are likely to engage because you are alleging that they are detained in certain Government institutions. Maybe, you will be able to tell them that a particular person is detained in this place and another one in that other place. You have said that another one was released in Garissa. Now, the people responsible would be in a position to engage you because that is a serious matter. I can see the amount of anger in you, and you have a right be angry. The Chairman has just read a Statement which came from the Ministry. This is the inadequacy of this system. You can ask the people who have experience in the former system, even though many of you now perhaps may not differentiate the advantages of that other system. Were he the Minister, he would have no option, and the Speaker would be in a position to order him to walk out with you to go and produce those people. However, as it is now, the Chairman could only read the Statement that has been given to him."
