"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As a member of the Committee on Administration and National Security, I arise to support this Bill as amended. Any organization must have a clear command. Whoever heads an organization must, at least, have a free hand on how to deal with roles and the people under him or her. When we were compiling this Report, we did a lot of consultations. We held many meetings with so many organizations and persons. I would like to urge this House, to support this Bill. We want an effective and an efficient National Police Service. We want a police service that does not have an Inspector-General who always has contradicting public spats with the leadership of either the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) or the National Police Service Commission. I think it is very critical for this country to have a clear ranking in our national police Service. I think the confusion that we have seen--- The exchanges between the Inspector- General and the Chairman of the Commission on some of national issues affecting security of this country were not very clear. I think this Bill is going to cure that kind of misunderstanding. This Bill will provide a clear command, clear structure and from now on, we will be in a position, as a country, to hold the Inspector-General accountable for insecurity in the country.
