    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended — (c) in the proposed amendment to the National Police Service Commission Act, 2011 (No. 30 of 2011), by deleting the proposed amendment to Section 26(2). Looking at that amendment, we seek to remove the proposed extension of time for submission of annual reports by the National Police Service Commission from three months to six months. Article 254(1) of the Constitution requires each Commission and each holder of an independent office to submit a report to the President and Parliament as soon as it is practicable after the end of each Financial Year. Further to that, in the National Police Service Commission Act, Section 26 on Annual Report says that the Commission shall submit the annual report to the President and the National Assembly three months after the end of the year to which it relates. For that case, we see no reason for moving it to six months. The Commission came to us again to say that the three months suffice."
