    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security has graced this House. This is because I was going to focus on him a bit in my debate, but now that he is here, it shows that he has taken us seriously. All over the world, the signs of a failing state are three. One of the signs is increased insecurity which the state organs are unable to manage. The second sign is the use of informal or alternative security operatives such as militia groups because the state security agencies have failed to contain insecurity. The third one is when there are attacks on the defenceless. This happens when, for instance, people steal from others, rape, kill or butcher them. Those are signs of a failing state. I am glad that the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and his Assistant Ministers are here. It would have been even better if the technocrats in that Ministry, who are supposed to have the right response mechanism, would have been sitting there to hear what we have to say."
