    "content": "Thank you for the reminder, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. What is more painful is that you get arrested for not carrying a national identity card, and at the same time the Government does not issue you with an identity card, despite having the right documents for you to have it. I would like us to be on record because someone here said that human rights defenders have had the same rights since time immemorial. It is only during the term of this Government that human rights defenders have had their bank accounts closed and suffered all sorts of inhumane treatment. This has happened to Haki Africa and Muhuri, which have come out and talked about people who have died mysteriously in this country, or have gone missing. Recently, the courts have declared that they have been operating legally and without any problem. As much as I would support this national policy and action plan on human rights, I would equally say that the law needs to be followed. Everyone who breaks the law, including police officers who use guns to torture others, should be treated as criminals. Thank you very much."
