    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country does not take orders from any foreign power. But we have a working relationship on matters of security with other security agencies worldwide. Those security agencies, sometimes, give us information that we do not have, and we use them. That is in our interest as a country. We may not have as much investigative power like other agencies may have across the world and when they advise us, we take that advice seriously and we look at it and advise ourselves accordingly. What we have said is that, that gentleman was put on a watch list and was, therefore, denied entry. In the law that we passed in this House recently, we provided that if you have been put on what we call a “PI” list, that is Prohibited Immigrant List, then there is a committee which we have now put together in the Ministry that includes other members that are not even members of my own Ministry, who would review any case based on evidence. So, if there is a complaint - and it is a genuine complaint - there is a facility to use. In fact, if you are not even satisfied with the ruling of that committee, you can come to me. If you are not satisfied with my ruling, you can go to the High Court. If you are not satisfied with the High Court, you can go to the Supreme Court, whether you are a member of this country, whether you are a citizen or not."
