Procedures are clearly provided in this Bill to prevent unfair treatment of any suspect or those involved in any ills or malpractices that may have been reported. Disciplinary procedure is 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."
