    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 50 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1) by inserting the following new paragraphs immediately after paragraph (c)— “(d) use the names, logos, initials and emblems similar or resembling those of a national security organ or a disciplined service. (e) use or install equipment that is capable of intercepting or otherwise interfering with another person’s communication; and (f) use or install such other equipment as the Cabinet Secretary may from time to time prescribe.” (b) by inserting the following new sub clause immediately after Sub-clause (3)- “(4) A person who contravenes this section commits an offence and shall, in addition to cancellation of the license, be liable, on conviction, to a penalty prescribed in this Act or any other written law, whichever is higher.” The import of this amendment is to ensure that private security service providers cannot dress or use equipment ordinarily reserved for officers in national security organs. Secondly, this is to prevent confusion that may be exploited by criminal groups to harm citizens and thirdly, it will help in identifying and punishing offenders, either in private security service providers or members of national security organs. This is meant to clear confusion even when you are conducting an operation, so that you know whether you are dealing with officers of the National Police Service or just normal security guards. I plead that we support this good amendment."
