Police officials say the draft was submitted again around two months ago to the homeministry, which forwarded it to the Chief Adviser's Office.The CAO sent a letter to the home ministry on January 16 asking for consultation withstakeholders at thana, district and divisional level. The home ministry on January 29forwarded the order to the police HQ with an additional order to "submit proveninformation and papers of the consultation workshops".Sources in the headquarters say they will soon start consultation with the stakeholdersand submit its feedback to the home ministry as soon as possible.The home ministry will then hold an inter-ministerial meeting and send the draft law tothe law ministry. The new law is finally supposed to be circulated as an ordinancethrough approval of the cabinet.IGP Nur Mohammad said they are sending the draft ordinance to upazilas, districts anddivisions for the required consultation. "We'll give them 15 days for it," he told TheDaily Star.Sources in the police HQ say they have already sent messages to upazilas, district anddivisions to make all arrangements.Former IGP SM Shahjahan who is the head of the committee that formulated the draftordinance said: "It's a good move to consult with stakeholders and general peopleabout a proposed law."He also said the new law is very much necessary for the police and the governmentshould take necessary steps to promulgate the ordinance as soon as possible.PRP National Project Director and Additional Inspector General of Police NBK Tripurasaid they have already initiated a move to print several thousand copies of the draft todistribute those at thana, district and divisional level. He also expressed his hope tohold the consultation workshops as soon as possible.He said once the draft ordinance is promulgated, the present corporate face of thepolice will change completely. "We're trying to give the police a humane face which isrequired in democratic polity."THE ORDINANCEOnce the draft ordinance is enacted the influence of ruling political parties on the policedepartment will reduce sharply.The draft proposes that between the ranks of superintendent of police (SP) and IGP noofficials can be transferred from their postings within two to three years of assumingthe current responsibilities.Recommendations from any ministers, lawmakers or influential persons forappointments, transfers or promotions will be considered a criminal offence.The draft focuses on issues like human rights, a police code of conduct, guidelinesregarding dealing with women and children, and community policing based on mutualunderstanding between a community and law enforcers.Formation of a National Police Commission (NPC) and a Police Complaint Commission(PCC) has also been proposed to supervise policing.The 11-member NPC will appoint the IGP and investigate any allegations broughtagainst the police chief. Nobody will be able to remove or transfer the IGP without theconsent of the commission.
The NPC will also finalise a list of three nominees for the post of the IGP and forward itto the government after scrutinising their service records. Only then the governmentwill appoint one of the nominees as the police boss.The proposed five-member PCC with a retired judge of the Supreme Court as its chiefwill ensure accountability of the force.A former IGP or a former additional IGP, two representatives from the civil societyincluding a woman, and a retired secretary or a retired additional secretary will be themembers.
