    "content": "In Paragraph (c), the amendment proposes to delete the procedure for the appointment of Deputy Inspector-General without providing for an alternative procedure. The amendment, if adopted, would therefore result in a vacuum as regards the procedure for the appointment of the Deputy Inspector-General. The proposed New Section 13 merely provides for the appointment by the President of an officer in acting capacity where a vacancy occurs in the Office of the Deputy Inspector-General. The current Section 13 of the Act should, therefore, be retained in the Act and instead the new provision should be inserted as Sub-section 8 with addition of the timelines within which the appointee should hold office in acting capacity so as to guard against a situation of an officer holding the office in acting capacity indefinitely. This is meant to avoid a situation where somebody is appointed and is serving for more than one year without going through interview. This has given the President that leeway to appoint an officer in acting capacity as Deputy Inspector-General for six months and we expect that within six months, interviews would have been done and a name forwarded to the President for appointment."
