    "content": "the police operate in the right way. In other jurisdictions the police are the most respected service. What happens in our jurisdiction? We want to give them land. We want to improve their remuneration. We want to give them equipment. We really want to pamper them. We want our police to be the best paid and the best in terms of discipline, so that we can eradicate corruption, but now we are taking our time to debate on amendments of a good piece of legislation not necessarily to give the police those amenities. If we were debating to give them those amenities, wherever they are they would be feeling it, but now we are telling them that they are still under an authoritarian Inspector- General, who is answerable to nobody, and who may transfer them at will, as has happened before. We are going back in time! The powers are centered on the Inspector-General. What we are doing is creating a monster. We are trying to create a very strong institution, but we are not providing checks and balances. Let us be careful. Let us reject these amendments in total. I oppose."
