    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support what the Member has brought to the House. I was involved very closely during the arrest of Hon. Arama. When Hon. Arama was arrested, I actually went to the police station and we sat there the whole of Saturday and Sunday waiting for him to be taken to court in Nakuru but we were surprised that at 4.00 O’clock, he was bundled into a car and brought all the way to Nairobi. What I am wondering is how a Member of Parliament who has been elected by the people of Kenya can be arrested at night on a Friday and denied police bond yet the rights of a person under arrest are entrenched in the Constitution. He should be given a bond, particularly, the leaders who are elected. Where are they going to run to? I was so surprised because when you read this letter that emanated from the lawyer of the other party, who had an issue with Hon. Arama, they had already settled this issue. When we asked the investigators from the EACC what they were looking for because according to the writings from the lawyer of the other party 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."
