Parliament yesterday abandoned a plan that would have allowed the police to remove rowdy MPs from the house. The National Assembly rules committee decided that only the parliamentary protection services could act against MPs in the House.Parliament was yesterday ready to adopt a rule that would allow police officers to be seconded to the parliamentary protection services.The ANC has now removed a clause from the proposed new rule thatdefined "security services" (the defence force and the police) as part of parliamentary protection services.The ANC had proposed that parliamentary protection services be defined as "all parliamentary staff members employed, appointed, assigned, delegated or seconded by parliament to perform security and protection functions within the precincts of parliament".Parliament spokesman Luzuko Jacobs said that the secondment of police offices to the parliamentary protection services had been "expunged".Economic Freedom Fighters MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi had previously said that police officials "sing for their supper" and take orders from the executive."It really goes against the doctrine of the separation of powers," said Ndlozi.National Freedom Party MP Nhlanhla Kubisa also questioned how parliament would allow "the police to enter a 'sacrosanct' place like parliament"."Let us not allow them to get into the chamber," said Kubisa.DA chief whip John Steenhuisen said the starting point for his party was upholding the constitution."The secondment and delegation [of police officers] is going to run into constitutional problems. No security force may be allowed into the chamber," said Steenhuisen.The DA suggested the use of a private security company, as opposed to the police, to assist in removing MPs. He said parliamentary protection services members should get further training.But the idea was shot down by the EFF. It said this would allow "violent bouncers" to enter the chamber."This rule is illegal [and] not constitutional. What he's trying to do is to have security guards, private security who report to some private capitalist," said Ndlozi."Let me tell you the security cases in Cape Town ... they are often very, very violent."We can go get bouncers somewhere who are paid. It's worse to move from police to private security guards."The National Assembly is expected to adopt the amended rules when it meets tomorrow...
