    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker for the opportunity to lend my support to this good report. Police misbehaviour, enforced disappearance and extrajudicial killing are the biggest threat to security. These are the biggest threat to law and order and everything that is orderly. When people have no confidence, belief, respect and trust in the police force it is a tragedy. Effectiveness of the police force depends on the trust that the people bestow upon the police. When you do not trust the police, you do not report to them anything that might be important when it comes to unravelling crime. You do not go to the police to tell them anything that might further or assist in the rule of law. If you do not do that, then there is every likelihood that the perpetrators of crime will be successful in their devious and evil activities and, therefore, gain confidence and continue reaping from their ill-gotten fruits of crime. For instance, you are a person who has the misfortune having been a victim of crime or if you have lost a loved one pursuant to illegal activities of some functionalities, you may not find the courage or the excitement of reporting that to the police because you do not trust them. If you do not do that, what is likely to happen is that these criminals will think they are above the law. This makes crime and criminals the rulers and kings of the streets. This must be dealt with. I see transformative recommendations in this report. I thank Sen. Omogeni who besides being a Senator is a committed and formidable litigant. He has used his good skills for the benefit of the Committee he serves as chairperson and for this House."
