"content": "So, what was the problem with the NYS? It was not the institution, but the persons that were mandated to run it. We were wrong by not hiring commandants in the name of ex-military officers and brought in technocrats who failed. So, this Bill is trying to sanitise that restructuring which happened without being anchored anywhere in law. We are now saying that it is time to professionalise the service. It is very important that, at least, the Bill talks about a council. In the military, where I come from, we have the Defence Council, which is well structured. There is command and control. We are trying to borrow from the military where we have the Defence Council. Having a council in the NYS will also put some measures in place to ensure that funds that are allocated to the NYS are accounted for."
