    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I also congratulate the hon. Member and support his petition. I want to say that we are in a crisis in terms of security in this country, but my concern is that we are having a lot of knee jerk reactions here and there. I know we want to change the law and we are hurrying through that. In my view, we have not comprehensively looked at the issue of security. We talk of the National Police Service, the National Police Service Commission, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and even security intelligence. The kind of insecurity we have involves all those areas. In my mind, even with the Executive, I have not seen, unless it is being done secretly, somebody who is looking at this comprehensively. I know we are rushing through the Bill that came to us yesterday but even administrative matters have not been dealt with where we have the National Police Service, the National Police Service Commission and the police itself with two very clear arms which have two heads and only united at the top. The two arms are still operating independently. Those are not legal issues. I think somebody somewhere in the Executive must sit down and look at the whole security system starting with administrative issues within the law as it exists today."
