    "content": "(a) there are in existence adequate remedies under any written law or administrative practice---” Again, this dilutes the purpose for which this commission is being set. There is no action that an administrator can take or that a complainant can bring that cannot be subjected to other existing laws because investigation under criminal law and going to court--- These are remedies which are in existence. So, when you say that the commission may decline to investigate if there are in existence adequate remedies under any written law or administrative practice, what are we really saying? I think there are many areas in this Act that we need to look into more seriously so that we do not create a commission that is just used for public relations but is toothless. I hope these concerns will be taken into account by the Minister when the Bill goes into the committee so that we can give this commission teeth so that it is not a toothless bulldog that we only talk about but cannot take concrete measures to correct administrative malpractices."
