(iii) To amend the Bill to provide for inclusion of prevention of smuggling of drugs and firearms among the functions of the Service. (iv) To amend the Bill to provide for regulations to the harmonisation of ranking structures. (v) Article 239 of the Constitution empowers Parliament to establish a military, paramilitary or similar organisation that purports to promote and guarantee national security. (vi) The name was adopted as in accordance with the prevailing international tradition of naming the same by similar organisations around the world, such as the ones in the United States of America, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The Service will man internal water bodies. We will be moving amendments during the Committee stage to buttress and address specific aspects within the Bill in order to ensure the overall objectives are attainable upon enactment and operationalisation. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move and ask Hon. Arbelle to second."
