    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill. First, I will say that, yes, we have a problem with security in this country and we must deal with it as a House. It is interesting that this badly drafted Bill was brought to us. In fact, if it, indeed, came through the Attorney-General’s Chambers, that office should be the next to be investigated, because the drafting is terrible. What they have done here is not really a Bill. What they have done here is an attempt at making a Bill. When you look at the contents of the Bill, they are not even well sequenced. You find Article 67 being amended then as you go down you find Article 40. Definitely this Bill was not done by a serious drafter. Another thing that we have gone against even as we debate this is that the Chairman of the Departmental Committee should have reported progress on the report on the Bill under Standing Order No. 127(5). He did not table a report and according to Standing Order 127(5) he should have reported progress on the report. Having said that, it is not lack of laws that has caused insecurity, but it is lack of implementing and enforcing laws that already exist that has led to the high insecurity."
