In the Statement given by the Chairman, I want to seek a number of clarifications. One, on the incident in Mosoriot, the Chairman has indicated that the Government is aware that on the night of 12th and 13th August, 2015 three suspects were apprehended by members of the public. He goes on to tell us that they were booked in a police station but they escaped. We are talking about a police station with more than ten police officers. How possible is it that suspects are able to escape from a police cell, whatever time of the night when we know that the security around a police station is provided 24hrs, seven days a week? Can he clarify how the suspects escaped from police custody in a police station that is supposed to be manned 24 hours in a day? Secondly, if you have a situation where suspects are apprehended by members of the public, then you have police officers being unable to explain how the suspects escaped---"}
