    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I must first start by appreciating the Member of Parliament who has raised this. We must look at this in the environment in which this is happening. What we are seeing now is arresting people at the end of the week with the idea of detaining them the whole week, arresting people using excessive force and denying them bail. We know that we like the fight against corruption but it is my fear that what we are doing now is actually intimidating people and diverting attention from the problems we have of corruption and actually settling political scores and vendetta. This is really not what we expect the police force to do. At this time when we are fighting corruption, all the relevant laws must actually be adhered to when people are being detained. We shall not accept these diversionary tactics of implementing the law. We want the fight against corruption to be clean and focussed."
