    "content": "defines the acts of torture according to the Convention against Torture and the highest international standards. Then, in the definition section, Clause 2, we have torture defined and it says: “Refer to the Schedule.” So, it gives the CS the power to adjust the Schedule. We are giving him or her power to adjust the definition of “torture”. That would sort of kill the Bill. That is what I propose to amend and to allow regular reporting to Parliament, yearly, to see if the problem is going down or up, and what measures need to be taken to ensure that we reduce cases of torture in our country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
