    "content": "Somebody is telling me that they are not children. You may find that those individuals have not been employed and are not earning salaries but somebody says that they must be arrested. When our police officers are given the responsibility of arresting anybody, they will do it. So, the Ministry should reconsider the idea of arresting those individuals. They should discuss with this House so that they know the right way of handling these issues. The punishment that has been proposed is wrong. How do you arrest an individual because they have not paid a debt yet they have not secured any job? We are concerned about our graduates in this country who have not been employed. We have very many graduates who surpass the number of those who have been employed. Why should the Ministry not think of how to absorb those particular individuals who completed their education and passed very well rather than thinking about arresting them? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement. The Ministry should reconsider its position and look for the best way of dealing with that if the aim is to get their money back. If I were one, I would not have paid."
