(a) No, I am not aware about the private function. However, I am aware that police provided security coverage to a public function at Ndhiwa Township on 14th April, 2006. (b) Ten officers were deployed to cover the function. (c) No money was paid to the Government since this was a public and not a private function that would otherwise have warranted private hire of police."}
