    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second the Motion as moved by the Chief Whip of the Majority Party and I support the Report by the President on the state of national security. As has been highlighted in summary, the President’s Report captures the threat faced by the country at the time this Report was prepared. The President making this Report to the country is a manifestation of a new system under the new Constitution. It brings to the public the challenges faced and the actions taken by the Government. It is true this country has suffered the threat of terrorism. We appreciate the measures the Government has taken which have contributed enormously in controlling and reducing the threat. During the state of the nation report, the President spoke about corruption and we can see the measures that have been taken since the report was tabled. We are quite aware that these are not problems, by their very nature, that are going to be contained within an interval of one year, but at least, we, as Parliament, can interrogate the measures the Government is taking and decisively join to support and complement the Government’s efforts especially in terms of budgetary allocation to support the measures. The range of threats as has been covered is quite wide including cattle rustling, organised crimes and drug trafficking. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
