    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Bill. This Bill is timely. First of all, it regulates the industry. This is a very essential service. Apart from the mainstream security provision by the Government, the private sector provides security services. For the first time, there is an authority that is going to ensure that the sector is providing services with efficiency, the laws are followed and the end users; those who are going to benefit from these security firms, are regulated. The Bill seeks to ensure that all private security firms pay good salaries to their employees. They should have a code of conduct to ensure that the employees behave well. The employers should also give better remuneration to their employees. Private security providers employ a good number of our youth and they underpay them. From this provision, they are required to pay these young men and women well. They are required to work in close consultation with the National Police Service and they can even have the power to arrest. They will be allowed to arrest and even detain criminals. This will assist especially in the maintenance of law and order. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
