    "content": "That would be the right thing. Somebody cannot sit somewhere and take kids from their villages and bring them here and purport to make them security officers. This is somebody fighting the State and exposing Members of Parliament, the House and the institution of Parliament. We cannot allow that to happen. In this Bill, the proposal that you can take the NYS to go and work in Somalia where there are soldiers in combat was ill-advised. Sitting in this Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations Committee, I got a chance to visit military institutions. How I wish we could have more generals in positions because of their discipline! We should have more soldiers in positions because of the training they go through. We cannot take untrained people and give them responsibilities which they are not disciplined or trained on. I really support and encourage all of us not to touch Clause 34 of this Bill. Imagine the scenario of El Adde if you had officers from the KWS there. It is like saying: “Please, send them with the coffins.” This is because they have no idea of that scenario. I really support and I congratulate the Committee. We have done a good job. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
