    "content": "Listening to the Chairman of the Committee in charge of Security, I was rather disturbed as to whether he interviewed the Cabinet Secretary or if the Cabinet Secretary has come to the realization that registration of persons is a very serious security matter. When we go ahead to hear that this problem is happening throughout the country and yet, the country right now is facing a serious problem of insecurity and terrorism, it is surprising that the Cabinet Secretary would come before hon. Abongotum’s Committee and still talk about waiting for funds. I think in a situation like that, we are not taking our responsibilities seriously. I would have expected the Chair to put the Cabinet Secretary to task because this is where security starts. This is the beginning of security measures. If the Cabinet Secretary could not put the actual weight on the matter, then it is not good to tell us that we are waiting to see whether in the budget, it will be allocated or not. I would request that the Committee revisits the matter with the Cabinet Secretary, to ensure that he is actually aware that this exercise of registration of persons is where security starts."
