    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I have just given a historical background to the shortage. It is true OCPDs are appointed by promotion and the rank is that of superintendent of police and above. These are gazetted officers. I have just said that we have officers undergoing training right now at Kiganjo. We are not able to churn out adequate numbers. In fact, capacity only allows 90 to about 100 annually because there are other cadres of police officers like the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), operational officers and so on. So, it is not just the OCPDs. Indeed, we do have a shortage and we are making every effort to train junior officers to upgrade them, so that we can fill those vacancies."
