    "content": "incompatible with the fact that the person is detained, held in custody or imprisoned, further aware that for the person deprived, the Liberty Act, 2014 provides for the humane treatment of persons detained, held in custody or imprisoned; deeply concerned that most police cells in the country are in deplorable conditions characterised by lack of basic requirements, overcrowding, poor diet, lack of clean water, poor sanitation among other requirements; noting that these conditions are in total contravention of the provisions of the Constitution and relevant legislations as they deny the detainees their fundamental rights to inherent dignity as well as freedom from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment which leads to their physical, emotional and psychological torture and harm to an extent of some of them committing suicide; this House urges the national Government, through the Ministry of the Interior and Coordination of National Government to modernise and standardise police cells across the country by providing basic facilities that ensures the dignity of suspects detained is observed and guaranteed."
