    "content": "If this country will embrace this Bill, it is going to be a game changer, particularly when we have a body involved. The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) will even receive serious cases from this body so that it is not the only one. Many a time, we have been saying that this body is toothless. It is the only body that has been looking out to prosecute cases without having an investigating body to refer to. I have seen many cases that have gone to the ODPP being thrown out and being declared not fit to be taken there because they lack evidence. Madam Temporary Speaker, if we have such a legal framework, we will have a professional body. That means that by the time any individual will be referred to the ODPP, that case will be one that should be investigated. We have wasted a lot of money and time with the ODPP conducting cases and at the end of it all, there is no case to be answered. I support this Bill because it has been done with the consideration of all other Acts that deal with integrity, procurement, and financial management. A lot has gone into The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
