    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my justification for the deletion of the proposal is very simple. Firstly, the National Police Service Act is very clear, and it has given a very good proposal on how the appointment of the Inspector-General should be done. The proposed Clause 12 seems to eliminate the role of the Commission again and the requirement of public participation in the appointment of the Inspector-General. What is proposed now is simply that the President nominates a preferred candidate whose name should then be brought to Parliament for approval or rejection. The amendment also says that if the nomination does not happen within 30 days, it will be deemed to have been approved. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Article 246(3)(a) of the Constitution is clear on the appointment procedure. It says: “The Commission shall recruit and appoint persons to hold or act in offices in the service, confirm appointments and determine promotions and transfers within the National Police Service.” So, if we allow this amendment to go through, we will be going back in time."
