    "content": "I oppose. This idea of creating a special category of public servants for certain public functions is what caused the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to take people from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation and elevated them. They ended up being sabotaged by other police officers and peers in other sectors of the public service. What we are trying to do here is saying that asset recovery falls in a strategic sector in the administration of justice process of the country and the nature of the service entailed requires commensurate compensation. Of course, every task requires commensurate compensation. Why should this one be different? We have just passed the Public Service Commission Bill here at the Committee of the whole House. We are saying that the Public Service Commission should oversee and investigate all public service organisations. Why can we not have the Public Service Commission and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) to deal with the salaries and terms of service for those people? Why are we creating a special category of public servants? The forensic experts are at the Directorate of Criminal Investigation Headquarters. They will not do anything different from those who are already there. I oppose this amendment."
