    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, even as we say our security is paramount, we must also think of those people who provide security in this nation. If you look at the kind of houses our police officers live in, it is pathetic. It is inhuman. It is about time that we also started thinking of the conditions that our security forces live in. We must provide them with good services. We must pay them well, so that they can carry out their duties as required. It must be also a deliberate policy for this Government, not only to provide proper housing, but also ensure that we retrain our police officers. It is will not be cheap, but that is the cost of having good security. We must retain our police officers to the point where they know that things such as corruption are things of the past, so that we start enjoying the kind of security that we want. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is an important Ministry. It also takes care of our District Officers and chiefs. We have created many district headquarters which must be built. We cannot ask the Ministry to build these headquarters if we do not allocate it money. I think this is a priority Ministry that we must provide funds to if we want to get the services that we want. There is also deficiency of officers. My constituency lacks nearly six DOs and yet we have divisions. This is because of deficiency in funding. It is, therefore, extremely important that we look into these issues which are critical. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
