    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice and congratulate the Mover of this Motion, Sen. Adan, for a very well researched Motion. I would like to add some amendments because the Motion is very clear that conditions of people in prisons are deplorable. I would like the Motion to include an amendment about people who are remanded in police cells. I do not know if you are aware of what is going on in police cells. What I witnessed in police cells is the most deplorable situation I have ever seen. Police officers mix, for example, murderers and innocent people. They lump them in one place with one bucket used as a toilet. Therefore, this amendment should be incorporated. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very good Motion and it needs a lot of support because the Mover thought about it keenly. I was planning to move a Motion of this nature because of my discovery of what happens in prisons. However, when I heard that this had come to the House, I thought it is important that we add some amendments to it. What goes on in prisons is not good yet people who have been detained have a lot to be desired. Therefore, something has to be done. It is time this august House looked at the situation. We should also look at what has been stated here in order to save our people from suffering because some of them end up dying in prisons as a result of wrongful detentions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion. I urge the House to also give it the necessary support. Once again, I thank the Mover of the Motion. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
