Many cases are being lost now because witnesses are scared and do not show up due to lack of protection. I am not sure but, maybe, the Chairman, Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), can react to this. This is a drop in the ocean."

In the new Constitution, the accused persons are given bail and bonds and they roam in the villages. We need to strengthen the witness protection system. Otherwise, we will not prosecute criminals who roam around successfully, including the rogue police officers in uniform who kill innocent boys and girls. Thank you."
