"content": "Unfortunately, this effort did not bear fruit either, as we were told that the doctor was unavailable at that time. We were then introduced to a senior nurse who was on duty and was managing the patient care in the ward. The nurse politely informed us that it would not be possible to see the Member during our visit due to medical advice and privacy considerations. We were told that he was undergoing a procedure. Even though we were unable to see him physically, the senior nurse assured us that the Member was in stable condition and was receiving the necessary medical care. Hon. Speaker, that is all. We had no option other than to leave the hospital. We could not push ourselves any further than we had. The people there were suspicious of us, as if we were there for other reasons, despite our efforts to assure them that we were just seeking an update on our colleague's well-being. In summary, we were declined entry. It is worth noting that we were not the only ones – other Members were also denied entry. It is also worth noting that a few hours before our visit, we saw a media briefing from another political class, who were allowed entry and subsequently issued a press briefing. I do not know whether it was a coincidence that Members from our political side were denied entry when they tried to visit him. I have two statements from the IG of the National Police Service (NPS). One was written yesterday, and the other one was written today. For record purposes, I want to start with the one that was written on 27th May 2025, which gave a chronology of events since the alleged abduction of our colleague."
