    "content": "I understand that there is a presidential directive to the effect that the disciplined forces should consider absorbing NYS recruits first, before recruiting from the public. Unfortunately, from statistics, the directive is barely followed. During the last recruitment that was done by the disciplined forces, less than 10 per cent of NYS servicemen and servicewomen were absorbed. This means out of the 26,000 NYS servicemen and servicewomen, less than 2,000 were absorbed into the disciplined forces. It means that 24,000 were left out. I do not know why the disciplined forces find it difficult to follow the presidential directive. That is why I have come up with this Motion. Once it is passed, the Implementation Committee should ensure that the NYS servicemen and servicewomen are absorbed into our disciplined services so that we reduce the recruitment and training costs as well as address the security threat that we face as a result of having many youths out there with paramilitary skills. It will also create employment and lead the youth to joining the NYS. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
