The National Assembly Administration and Security Committee is currently reviewing the Bribery Amendment Bill, which proposes equipping police uniforms with no pockets and installing CCTV cameras to oversee the conduct of traffic police officers.

Sponsored by Bomachoge Borabu Member of Parliament, Obadiah Barongo, the Bill aims to document interactions between law enforcement officers and the public. It authorises the deployment of CCTV cameras on roads to bolster policing efforts and enhance accountability.
