Transparency in the appointment of a Commissioner of Police

"The revised version of the Constitution Amendment Bill, currently before the Parliament of this country, that seeks to change the way in which the Police Service Commission is appointed, as well as the manner in which the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioners of Police are appointed, represents a fundamental shift of political culture towards the introduction, ultimately, of an executive presidency.The fact that the Prime Minister has surrendered the veto power that he had over appointments to the offices of Commissioner of Police and Deputy Commissioners of Police is a major step in the direction of introducing greater transparency into the way in which key appointments are made. 

Transparency has now descended upon a process that is still largely secretive."
