    "content": "Young and old people are put in one room and this is torture. We should have a system where the police must be retrained. Reforms must start with the people who torture others, so that they can change their approach. Extraction of evidence from witnesses or suspects cannot always be obtained by beating them up. There are ways of getting these people to provide information without harassing them. I would like to advocate for the passing of this Bill and especially the creation of mechanisms for an enabling environment for reforms. These reforms should be in the general society and in institutions where public officers are trained. I do not understand why we are so anxious to train policemen just for six to nine months yet they will be dealing with issues that go beyond six or nine months. We churn these people out very quickly. Let us have an arrangement where they can have follow up training sessions. If this is provided in a legislative process, especially through procedures from the line Ministries, then, let it be so, so that policemen have a way of enriching humanity and not dehumanising and degrading people who come their way."
