• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my reply, I did not say that there are no instances of insecurity in Kapsowar. In fact, I said that, where incidents like these occur, arrests have been made and the suspects charged in court. That shows that our police officers are on the ground and are working. We also have a list showing the number of cases which have been reported. For example, we had 15 cases in April, and 14 cases in June, 2006. In all these cases, suspects have been arrested and their cases are pending in court. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot allow citizens to arm themselves. As I said, in most cases, where incidents of crime occur and they are reported, arrests are made and the suspects taken to court. Once in a while, it takes quite sometime before suspects are arrested. Eventually, they are arrested and taken to court. I think that shows that our police officers are working. view

• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to apologise that my answer to this Question is not ready as I have not received some important information from the ground, such as the court proceedings that would allow us to make an appropriate decision.

• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, I am aware that there are such countries. We, as a country, would also like to be there one day. That is why we have started several initiatives to ensure that crime is controlled. One of the things we have started is the community policing. I am very sure that once the community members work hand in hand with the provincial and police officers and other security agencies, we will be able to flush out criminals wherever they are hiding.

• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The role of the police and other law enforcement agencies in political rallies and public meetings is to ensure that law and order is maintained.

Subsequently, they are also supposed to ensure that those attending and organizing the meetings do so according to the laid-down procedures. The Police Act, Cap.84 and the Public Order Act, Cap.57 give detailed roles of the police officers during such functions. view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, where a political party or any group wishes to hold a rally in any place, they are supposed to write and inform our security officers in that area. The reason is really to ensure that no two rallies take place at the same place and time. So, they should inform us for the purposes of us providing security. view
