    "content": "For the first time, we will have a police force that will answer to some civilian authority. I had a beautiful debate with some of my colleagues whether we should retain the Administration Police (AP) as they are or not. My reason for saying that the AP should be merged with the police and not answer to one body, was that the AP as they are, are a militia of some politicians. They are used to do whatever a politician wants. That is the danger in which we put ourselves. I accept the design that has been given that they will be answerable to a civilian authority. That we can now discipline and promote them, not at the whim of somebody, but on the recommendations of that civilian authority. The Police Commissioner was the commissioner who had no commission. Originally at Independence, there was a commission. It was disbanded because of the same thing, impunity and abuse of office. You concentrate power until you remove it from everybody."
