"content": "It is because things do not work the way they should. When you we were at the university, you would encounter the police and the first question they ask you is how much money you have. If you have no money, they frame you as rogue and vagabond. Just because you do not have no money. Luckily that crime was edited out of our criminal law justice system and now they use other methods. Mr. Speaker, Sir, people have been shot. You then get an explanation that an accused person, who was in custody, was running away escaping from lawful custody and that is why the police shot him. When you go to postmortem, you find that the bullet that hit this person who was running away, came from the front. So, you cannot be shot in the chest if the person shooting you, is shooting you because you are running away. These are all bizarre explanations that we need to check. In the right run up to the new Constitution, we kept on asking ourselves the cardinal legal questions. Who will watch the watchers? Who will police the police? These were big questions that informed the creation of the National Police Oversight Authority (IPOA), the Police Commission that was started off by Mr. Kavuludi and turning the police from a force to a service."
