    "content": "Security continues to be a major problem. Those of us who sit on the left hand side of the Speaker believe very strongly - and I wish to reiterate this - that the whole approach of fighting terror; the whole approach to improve security in this country as is being waged by the Government is being done on the wrong premise. We believe that to fight terror effectively, you have to invest in intelligence. When you see countries that have managed to effectively address this challenge like the USA or even our neighbor Ethiopia, they have invested heavily in intelligence. I want to urge the Government to invest in intelligence. It is inconceivable that police officers apprehend a vehicle, they drive that vehicle to a police station and it turns into a tragedy. That simply tells you that the intelligence that led to the apprehension of that vehicle was just not right. This is not politics. This is just common sense. The Government has to get its act together when it comes to intelligence as the cornerstone of fighting terror."
