    "content": "The issue of security has been properly addressed. We realise that security is not being handled properly by the State organs. Quite a number of individuals particularly those who profess the Islamic faith, have been arrested arbitrarily. A number of them have been arrested from my constituency in the last one or two months. None of them has been arraigned in court. That is total disregard of the provision of this country in terms of arraigning individuals in court and having them innocent until proven guilty in court. We urge that the people who have been arrested and are being held incommunicado should be taken to court, so that they can be charged. Holding them for months without taking them to book for offences they are suspected to have committed contravenes human rights. Every Kenyan has the right to be heard. Every Kenyan has the right to be respected for who he is. He should be innocent until confirmed guilty. We urge that those who are being held by State organs be taken to court. The police should do that. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
