    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday an hon. Member asked for a Ministerial Statement on the arrest of Mr. Swaleh Mdoe. I now wish to issue the same now. Mr. Swaleh Mdoe was arrested on 19th October, 2006 and booked at Kilimani Police Station. He was later moved to Kileleshwa Police Station, and the following day to Railways Police Station, Mombasa. He was arrested as an individual and not as a journalist. Therefore, his arrest is not part of the alleged campaign of intimidation and harassment of journalists. Mr. Swaleh Mdoe moved to the High Court via Miscellaneous Criminal Application No.79/2006 and the matter is still pending in court. Further discussion of details of the case may be unlawful under the rule of sub judice . I further confirm that the said Mr. Mdoe was released on a free bond of Kshs100,000 on 22nd, October, 2006."
