    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. While I agree on the issues and the concerns that have been raised by the hon. Members, I totally agree with hon. Kaluma that this is a matter that falls within the purview of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. I served as a Member of the Power of Mercy Committee. It is a body that is established under Article 133 of the Constitution, and the issues that are dealt with in that Committee are issues that have already been adjudicated upon by courts. The Committee looks at the files and recommends to the President, depending on circumstances of each prisoner, who deserves mercy. I think at this point, the best committee that is well placed to look at the legal issues, rehabilitation and granting of the mercy, is that on Justice and Legal Affairs. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
