    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the National Police Service Commission (Amendment) Bill. I want to thank Hon. Masara for what he has done by bringing this amendment Bill on the Floor of the House. The Bill will look at the mental health of the police officers. In the memorandum of objects and reasons, the Bill recognises that in the execution of their tasks, police officers work in potentially confusing roles, alternating between law enforcement and public service. I want to pick on the issue of public service. I know that at times we have really vilified this sector and especially, anyone who asks to be a police officer. If there is work that is respected so much all over the world, it is the work that our police officers do every day. It is sad how we sometimes treat our police officers. I know there are some officers with challenges in terms of how they deal with issues. However, that does not mean that we demonise the entire sector until people wonder whether it is our brothers and sisters who took the jobs. Police officers are members of our families."
