    "content": " Sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying that under the 926 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 7, 2008 Standing Orders, I am authorized to quote the President as an Assistant Minister. Those who do not know the Standing Orders should actually go, read and understand them so that they do not rise on unnecessary points of order. The President has no authority or power to release any suspects. That call should be made to the Attorney-General. Under our laws, it is only the Attorney-General who can authorize non- prosecution and not the President. The President would only come in after somebody has been convicted, then he is authorised to pardon him, but not before. Once again, I am saying this for the benefit of those who do not know; those who have been calling for the release of the suspects. You are asking the wrong person. You should be asking the Attorney-General to do that. Once again, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you are to release some suspects, then you should release all of them! Why are some special? If you want to release suspects, let us release all of them! Are some special? If you want to release suspects, let us release all of them! That will be against the rule of law. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the time for reconciliation and the truth must be said. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
