    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am looking at the National Police Service Commission (Amendment) Bill which we are discussing today. If you look at Clause 6 of that particular amendment which is amending Section 28, you will find that it wants the deletion of paragraph “n” that deals with the vetting process. So, I am rightfully on this. What that means is that the Inspector General wants to have exclusivity of vetting these officers himself. He is taking this away from the noble men under a commission that has been established. There is something very wrong in this amendment. If we allow this Bill to pass, we will kill meritocracy in the Police Service. We will also have rogue individuals being elevated because the power of doing that will be in the hands of one person. We will have men and women who would have worked very hard for this country and deserve recognition and promotion not being able to get promotion and recognition because their fate will rest in the hands of one particular person."
