    "content": "orders. Who deploys, is it the whole commission or the Secretary? This is a civilian unit which has one centre of command. But then you have a militarized unit and you want to have a disjointed centre of command. Let us be realistic. Some of the things that we are having today are as a result of us mixing issues and allowing armed forces to operate the way they do. If we look at the nation itself, where we have the President as the Commander-in- Chief he has a command centre that advises him. But at the end of the day, where does the buck stop? Who makes the final order? Is it everybody in that committee? If you go to the military, for example, on matters of promotion, you have a board that deals with promotions. But when you have a promotion board which does not involve anybody anyway; you only have a select group of people made up of, maybe, senior military officers, who make recommendations, what are we saying? Why do we want to have a police force that has no teeth or a structured command? These Bills will streamline the Police Service."
