    "content": " Chair, let me be the first one to ask you this. Look at your amendment in paragraph 2, any officer of the Service, is liable upon conviction to a fine or imprisonment. First, you do not say for how long. A good legislation which has an offence should state how long. Otherwise, it will be a felony unless you have an omnibus provision elsewhere of general offences that people who otherwise are guilty of offences here should be punished to some term in prison. Then, the phrase, depending on the offence committed negates the whole idea of penal--- It cannot now depend on the offence committed unless you want to graduate them and show clearly that if you are a first offender or if you have done this or that, you should be punished for this and that one for that period. So, you could easily say that upon conviction to a fine of so much, if you wish, or an imprisonment to a term of this kind of period or both and put a full stop there."
