"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The two deaths are not related to acts of commission or omission by the police officers. (b) Under the ongoing police reforms, police officers will be sensitized on the importance of strict observance of human rights as embodied in our new Constitution. However, I wish to assure this House that if any police officer is implicated by the inquest, appropriate action will be taken as directed by the Attorney-General. In addition, the Ministry has drafted a Bill to be tabled before this House to create an independent policing oversight authority to provide an independent channel for investigations into unlawful conduct by the police and hold them accountable to the public and Parliament. Such complaints against the police will be addressed by this particular independent body. The postmortem reports are here with me and I wish to table them as requested by the Questioner."
