Sugow","speaker_title":"The Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Public Service","speaker":{"id":142,"legal_name":"Aden Ahmed Sugow","slug":"aden-sugow"},"content":" Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not aware of this incident but as the Member has asked, I will liaise with my counterpart to find out why they were arrested. As far as I am concerned, it is only if they break the law or do anything that is contrary to the Constitution or law that they can be arrested. But exercising purely their right to demonstrate, I do not think there is any justification for arrest or incarceration. I will pick up that matter with the relevant Ministry to find out why those members of the public were arrested."}
