    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to congratulate the drafter of this Amendment Bill. True, as many Members have alluded to, police officers live in dire conditions and are deprived economically and socially. When you look at how policemen and women are treated in this country, it is pathetic. When you look at the jobs they undertake, you would say, socially, they are actually discriminated against. I have visited a few residential houses that are set aside for policemen. Some of them live in tents and others live in mabati houses. You will find one cube or one hut housing about four officers. Yes, we know most police officers are young, but that is the time when utmost privacy is needed. That is the time those young men and women are looking for spouses. This Amendment Bill, as much as it is addresses compensation when they are maimed or killed in their line of duty, should also address the social aspect of their lives."
