Thank you, Sen. Omanga, for raising this issue. This matter is appalling because after the hue and cry from the public on social media, the National Police Service (NPS) has taken action. However, the action appeared to be a slap on the wrist of the officers concerned.

First, they refused to name and shame the officers. Two, they have only been interdicted. The offences committed by these officers are under the Penal Code. The worst part is that adult men of sound mind and armed to the teeth were beating up a lady while striking her head and kicking her like a goat. It is a pity that the most we can do is interdict theses officers. The Committee must seek serious answers. If there is a time we should name and shame police officers who use brute, this is the time.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The question of heavy deployment of police officers is a matter of concern---

6 Nov 2019 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the heavy deployment of police officers in examination centres is a matter of concern to all of us. Our children are doing their exams as if they are in military barracks. Some of us who travelled with Sen. Dullo to places of high security, such as Sweden, know that even prisoners who are serving life sentences do not get the sort of treatment that our candidates are getting. This is a matter that the Committee on Education must handle, so that our candidates are not intimidated during the exams. They must be free to do their exams ...
