    "content": "When I look at this Bill, I do not see such horizontal commissions or horizontal safeguards. What I see is the fact that we should recruit people and defining what they are doing. We are even giving them rights, such as to enter premises without search warrants and to arrest people. When you look at the backdrop against which the 2010 Constitution was made, it intended to safeguard our rights as the citizens of this country. I believe that most governors – I am not saying all of them – are people whose heads are filled with power. Most executives are people who are full of power and do not have moments for humble people and citizens, who are taxpayers. Therefore, when we, as a Senate, proceed to legislate and create a framework through which these illegal activities can be carried out without first looking at ways and means of protecting traders, women and children against such potential militias, we will be taking this country and the rights of our citizens in a direction that we should not take them."
