    "content": " We were taken to court and the court was told not to give us bail by the prosecutors. We just stayed there for no reason. I agree with what Hon. Kimunya has said. It looks like we are going back to the dark old days where the division between different arms of government was not known. One arm of government can give directives to the other arm of government without due regard to the laws. In the modern society, if you have seen any criminal offence committed by, for example, Hon. Arama, there is no harm in telling him to report to a police station on Monday morning so that you can take his fingerprints and statements and take him to court the same day and then the court will decide what to do with him. What is the point of arresting someone on Friday and then holding him over the weekend for no reason? This culture of impunity must stop. It is a culture of impunity that this House must stop once and for all. Otherwise, very soon they are going to arrest everyone in this country without even an offence. You will just be picked on the streets of the town and you will be taken to detention without any trial and you end up staying in that cell for as much as the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) feels like."
