Description[?]:
| This is a continuation of the National Unity Plan. This act will establish an internal intellegence agency called CSF or Central Security Forces, under the direct control of the Prime Minister. It shall not be answerable to the legislature or judiciary. It will have powers to arrest any seperatist, anti nationalist, or minority extremist revolutionary, dissident, or leader, after attaining a warrant from the Prime Minister. After 1 (in game) year has passed since the arrest of the person, the legislature can propose and pass a bill to liberate the person. If a simple majority is attained in that bill, the arrested person will be released. But, before the 1 year has passed, only the Prime Minister will have power to order the release of the person. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We fully agree that there is a need to secure stability and order in Malivia, but this legislation would grant unprecedented powers to the government, and in our view would go too far in curtailing the civil liberties of our citizens.

| Date | 03:28:35, February 10, 2019 CET | From | National Democratic Party (NDP) | To | Debating the The Central Security Forces Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The NDP agrees with the Rajutti National Party’s statement. This bill would give the central government far too much power to act as it sees fit and would remove Parliamentary oversight over the Prime Minister’s actions. We call on the Malivian National Rally to vote “no” if it has significant disagreements with the bill. I believe we are all concerned with the growing separatist movements in the country, but this is not the just or moral way to tackle this issue. This is nothing more than a gross power grab by the Socialists. Kahoda Viswan MP from Dendhadrash Parliamentary Leader of the National Democratic Party |

Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
