    "content": "regarding the welfare and wellness of the police, this is the right procedure where we have regulations to govern the welfare of police officers. In particular, I support the introduction of Section 12(a)(f). It tries to streamline the procedures of orderly room proceedings, what we call disciplinary proceedings, when there is an issue affecting a police officer. Some of us who are practising advocates get proceedings arising from orderly room proceedings. We note that the procedures are in most cases totally flawed. This impacts the rights of a particular police officer where there is no procedural fairness allowing them to defend themselves and have a fair hearing on the allegations against them. We know that a majority of the living environments of police officers around police stations are crowded. Although they have families, you will find police officers living with their families in one house. Maybe three or four colleagues live together, which denies them the right to privacy."
