This is something of importance to this House. I was hoping that when the Cabinet Secretaries will come to this House, it will be a good opportunity for ole Lenku to answer this. Having said that, pursuant to Standing Order No.44 (2)(c), this is a request for a Statement from the Chair, Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, regarding the on-going countrywide police recruitment. The Government is currently undertaking a police recruitment drive to beef up the security situation in this country.
