    "content": " You know, this topic is wide. I cannot say it all. However, it is also good to appreciate that there is a very clear distinction between abduction and arrest. Our Constitution and laws are very clear. When a suspect commits a crime, the law says that they should be presented before a court of law within 24 hours and if the security agencies need more time to continue with their investigations, they should seek leave from the courts. That is the spirit. That is what our laws say and that is what was said clearly by the President. So, the issue of abduction and kidnapping is not allowed in our laws. That is the spirit of our Constitution and that is what it says and it should remain so. Lastly, national security is the bedrock of our development and sovereignty. The President’s Report reflects our resilience and safety as a nation in the face of evolving threats. While we celebrate the achievements in the Presidential Report, we must acknowledge the work that remains undone that needs to be done. As this House debates this Report, let us commit to supporting the security sector through robust legislation, oversight and resource allocation. I support."
