    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said earlier that the redemption and the fate of the people who are missing is a sensitive issue in this country, especially in Coast Province. Hon. Nassir was expecting an answer. It is like he knew what I was going to say, but I want to confirm that what the Government did was done within the purview of the law. Like I said, the East African Community Treaty of 2000 allows us to take that direction. At the same time, even our Constitution that we promulgated in 2010, also gives us the latitude to deal with this matter in this manner. I confirm that we are within the legal beacons and not outside the law. On the issue of Mr. Omar Faraj, I agree that this issue was skipped. Also the issue of the two names out of the seven that is Omar and Amir, I want to suggest that we engage the Member through the Committee. We will write to the Cabinet Secretary to confirm the status of the three, so that we can convince the Member for Mvita on their status. So, whether it was omitted technically or intentionally, we want to know. We will respond to that and we will invite him to our Committee, so that we can prosecute the matter. On the issue of the shooting of the two pastors, it came slightly later. The matter took some time because as you know, a small inquiry was conducted on the issue of Sheikh Rogo and according to me, they did not achieve much. I want to suggest to the Member to either ask for a separate Statement on the issue of the two pastors or we can write and combine the two issues and ask the Member to come to our Committee, so that we can prosecute it."
