Bill: Formation of a Secret Police (The Bakar)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Communist Party of Kafuristan
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2791
Description[?]:
| During the transitional phase of the revelution, it was acceptable to just use the regular police and their surveillance capabilities to root out enemies of the revelution. This was because most of the enemies were in the open, and merely needed to be searched out. However, almost all of our open enemies have been killed or imprisoned. Now, during the solidification phase of the revelution, attacks on the state will happen secretely, and dissenting, greedy thoughts will happen secretely. It is necessary, therefore, to create a secret police to monitor the citizenry, and ensure they do attempt to subvert the revelution's success through secret dissent against its institutions, or by organising against it secretely (ie, recruiting their friends into secret terrorist organisations.) I would like to stress that mere opposition to policies of the regime will not lead to arrest, only attacks on the institutions and stability of the revelution. The new secret police will be known as the Bakar. The Bakar will be reviewed by an independent Kafuri organisation yearly for corruption and abuse of its delicate mandate. This report will only be open to members of the Grand People's Assembly. I shall leave this bill open to debate and comment from our partners due to its significance. |

| Message | Comrade Speaker, We see the need for the Bakar, however, we are afraid that it shall be susceptible to corruption and abuse. We shall approve the bill if an amendment is put in place that the organization is reviewed yearly by an independent Kafuristanian group. |

| Message | We will accept that as long as the report is only open to members of the Grand People's Assembly, and no one else. Is that acceptable? |
| Date | 18:55:10, July 22, 2009 CET | From | People's Liberal Action Party | To | Debating the Formation of a Secret Police (The Bakar) |
| Message | Yes. We only wish to have the report so the agency can be kept under control. So long as it's doing it's job the people need not see the information. And if the agency isn't, action must be taken. And the reports will still stay within the Assembly halls. |

| Message | It is agreed then. We understand that the agency must not become a force of its own, but rather, remain loyal to the government and to revelution. |

| Random fact: Don't put "the" as the first word in your party name, because when parties are referred to in news reports, their names are preceded with "the", e.g. the [Socialist Party] has lost. |
