Written from the desk of Darth Malum, Leader of the Imperial Party.
The bill calls for the construction of additional prisons, which is not a matter which much concerns me, indeed there might be a need for them, even with whole prison worlds like Belsavis and Adras serving, yet, this may be the only piece of the bill which holds water. We have a judicial system, we have judges, magistrates, bureaucrats and enforcers, why then was this bill made? Made without consideration or communication with those perhaps best suited in providing advice on the reforms they would wish to see implemented for the benefit of the Empire?
I believe the manifest intention of the bill reveals itself upon its sixth point, the establishment of the Sith Bureau of Security, if you are as confused as I am at what such an organisation would do, I do not fault you, for after all, do we not have security apparatus already in place that is called the Tsis'Kaar that would be enacting the very duties which this bill seeks for them to implement? Would Tsis'Kaar operatives be reassigned from their duties, to attempt to bring this experiment into a barely workable state, abandoning their posts, for which they have loyally and dutifully served, inviting chaos to emerge from their wake?
I cannot in good conscience speak to the intentions of Darth Arcanix, but from my read, this bill is unnecessary, and indeed, it would read to me, as I imagine it would read to many of you, as a specific effort to bring political manoeuvres into the realm of law and order, as we sit upon the precipice of executing certain operations, to weaken at this critical juncture, seems entirely a mistake.
I call upon all Governors of the Assembly, I call upon all members of the Imperial Party to vote no on this bill.
