    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. We have conceded that when we come to arrests, I note what hon. Aden and hon. Wanyonyi have said. I think we concede removing the word ‘arrest’ because it is well taken care of in the Constitution. But where a child has been detained or deprived of liberty in execution of a lawful order or sentence, then the parents should be informed. What we are assuming is a child who has been to school and the parents of the child are thinking that their child is in school, yet they have been arrested. They are not aware. They have been sentenced and they are serving a custodial sentence. It is only reasonable that the parents must be informed. We are not talking about somebody who has disappeared from home. This is a person who could have been in a boarding school and they have been arrested, sentenced and so the parents must be informed. If we leave it “within such reasonable time”, we do not know what the police will say is reasonable time. But if hon. Aden is comfortable with “reasonable time”, we think to ourselves reasonable time is left to the discretion of the police."
