    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my comment on this. First, I would like to thank Sen. Wetangula for the great concern displayed in this Statement. I still believe, like Sen. Sakaja said, that we are in a country where our children are not friendly to the police. In most of the villages, they only saw the police for the first-time during the examinations. This creates a lot of terror and fear in our children during examination period. Instead, the Government should invest in creating a culture of honesty among our children, so as to avoid the heavy presence of armed policemen during examinations. From the pictures that were shared in the social media, we saw the policemen doing terrible things. They gave firearms to young children, who would then pose for photos while carrying them. That indiscipline level should not be taken lightly. It is interesting to note that we have shortage of police officers in areas where we have criminal activities, yet a number of them are found in places where their services are not heavily or seriously needed. If their main responsibility is to secure the exams, then they should stay at the dispatch points, around the gate or go round the school compound. They should not be allowed to enter the classrooms where the students are doing the exams. I was also not happy with the hypocrisy portrayed in the last minutes by the high ranking Cabinet Secretaries who went into the examination rooms."
