    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Bill. I also appreciate the Member of Parliament for Suna West, Hon. Masara, for thinking about our police officers. Article 43 of our Constitution guarantees all citizens of this country the right to health. Our police officers work in very hostile environments, which at times brings issues like depression. Their housing and salaries are not adequate. If you look at their working equipment, like the vehicles they use, they are not sufficient. Besides that, some of them are posted to work in very harsh environments. As we know, it is a disciplined force and they do not have any other option, but to serve the country in those places. So, the introduction of this Bill, in a small way, is appreciating the men and women in the police service. I support the Bill as it seeks to amend Sections 10 and 12 of the Police Commission Act. In other jurisdictions like South Africa and Canada, they have introduced the same law that we are talking about."
