We
need a National Anti-Crime & Anti-Indiscipline Commission headed by a
Commissioner comprising of at least 11 persons. This Commission should be properly
funded so that it can engage researchers to carry out research into crime and
indiscipline. This Commission should be able to initiate the evaluation of and
make recommendation for improving the performance of the following agencies:
·
All institutions
responsible for training and the socialization and education of our people.
·
Institution
responsible for investigating all forms of indiscipline and crime.
·
All institutions
responsible for the administration of justice.
This
Commission would also be responsible for evaluating our laws and working to
ensure that our laws are made more effective to deal with the problem of
indiscipline and crime.
The
Commission will report to the public and to the parliament. It will function
until parliament decides by a simple majority to dissolve this commission.
The
Commission will assess the performance of leaders in the various areas which
have a role to play in reducing crime and indiscipline and recommend if these
leaders appointments should be revoked.
Please let me have your
comment about these suggestions.
