    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to make a personal Statement in pursuant to Standing Order No.53. It states: ―During Statement Hour, a Senator may, by the indulgence of the Senate, explain matters of a personal nature although there is no question before the Senate, but such matter may not be debated.‖ First of all, I express my sincere gratitude to all the Members of the Senate who stood with me during the most trying moments over the weekend. I specifically thank the leadership of the Senate Minority and Majority, who came to visit me in the cell. However, I would not want to delve into the issues that happened on that fateful day, but focus on the issues and the state of security in Matungu Constituency. I am a strong person. I assure the Senate and the nation at large that we should not lament about Malalah being arrested, but let us all focus on Matungu killings. As I speak, people of Matungu Constituency are being mishandled both by the gang and the General Service Unit (GSU) who are there for operation. It is sad that the authorities and the leadership of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government have decided to derail from the main focus affecting the people of Matungu Constituency. Let me tell the nation: Matungu Constituency has only 40 policemen which translates to eight policemen per ward. This constituency has five wards. This means that in one shift, there are only four policemen working in one ward. We need to look into this The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
