State Police Bill Set for Final Vote in National Assembly This Friday

The Senate Leader confirmed the National Assembly will fast-track the State Police bill before week’s end. The bill has passed second reading in both chambers. A joint committee report will be laid on Thursday, with a final vote expected on Friday. If approved, the constitutional amendment will allow states to establish their own police forces, pending ratification by at least 24 state assemblies. While many governors back the plan amid rising insecurity, others warn of potential abuse. Lawmakers say built-in safeguards will protect against misuse.
