    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the Members for the contributions they have made and the support they have given to this Motion. We are here as Members of Parliament to represent our people in matters that affect them directly. This is one matter that is of concern. There are issues that we need to bring to the attention of this House. One is the arbitrary arrest of members of our public. I am sure every Member of Parliament has such issues in the constituency. The law is very explicit that the arrest should be made where a crime has been committed. Nevertheless, those things are going on unabated. We need to come up, as Members of Parliament - and not as helpless people, but people who have the mandate of the people - to make sure that such things stop forthwith. We have heard several contributions from our Members. They are all valuable. I know we have some colleagues who still want to contribute. I would wish to give some two minutes to my brother Makenga, one minute to my brother Ababu, one minute to Barchilei and one minute to Onyura. At least, we share so that each one can contribute."
