    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to talk about insecurity, and in connection with that, talk about the tampering along the common borders between us and our neighbouring countries. It is very disheartening when we do not strengthen and encourage our law enforcement forces, the police and others who are doing their duties. We cannot afford to live in a country where we discredit our own police force and yet we have no other person who can do that duty. We should strengthen and encourage our law enforcement agencies. If we encourage hooliganism, a situation where the police are afraid to deal with crime, where are we going to be? I believe that we must, therefore, --- No one country that I know of would allow their police to be ridiculed or pushed to the limit because I think we have pushed the police too far. This is again part of our mannerisms. A leader speaks and totally discredits and tears into the Police Force. Now, when you do that, what alternative do you want to bring in? After making political mileage out of it, what can you do for our security? If we keep the police out of our neighbourhood because you have said so much against them, who is going to take care of us? Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the authority of the police is supposed to be such that when you are in traffic, a policeman only has to lift his hand and you stop. If you tamper with that authority, can you imagine how we would run into each other in traffic? I mean, many of these things should not be politicized. I beg to support."
