Chairperson, true accolades, indeed, must be awarded to all policemen and policewomen for an excellent job working under difficult circumstances. The MF is glad to note in view of the report that the department is addressing some of the fundamental issues that have a negative impact on service delivery.
Policies, monitoring controls and procedures are very important to ensure efficient and effective management of daily activities. We note that the call centre causes difficulty, leading to havoc. This needs to be given attention. The problem of service delivery is the lack of logistical support services such as vehicles, manpower, etc. These need urgent attention.
There is no sense in having more policemen when you have fewer facilities. The MF hopes that all the deficiencies are addressed and systems are put in place speedily. We welcome the fact that the issue of sector policing has been resolved. This has a tremendous impact on safety and security at a local level.
We welcome the report and thank the committee led by hon Godi for excellent work done. Thank you.
