• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The criterion, therefore, was based on NYS units, professional qualifications and individuals’ interest to join the Administration Police force; intake was not to be based on districts as the with ordinary recruitments. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: (c) As for (c), I wish to lay on the Table the breakdown of the recruitment as requested by the hon. Member. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that the NYS does not fall under my docket. This institution falls under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. We only recruit into the police force the recruits the NYS has trained. That is a good question, but it should be referred to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that my Ministry recruits those who have been trained by the NYS. If there is need to stop recruitment from the NYS, there is no need to have the regular recruitment that is done at the district level. We take a certain number from the districts based on the population. We should discuss with the NYS and see if we can take the same number of recruits as the ones we recruit from the districts. view

It becomes very difficult when you get to the NYS. For example, in the case of Shinyalu where they only have ten recruits, the ten recruits will be trained at the NYS. After one year, we will go and recruit those who passed their basic course. You might find that only three out of ten have passed their course. So, we will, definitely, go for the three who have already gone through the basic ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no intention to completely stop recruiting form the NYS because I need more police officers. For us to get police officers immediately, it forces us to go through the NYS where they have done some basic courses. We need security personnel in the country. In fact, the hon. Members should have even requested me to go for a double intake because of the situation in the country. I cannot stop recruiting from the NYS. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not fair. Where we have recruited few personnel from those districts, we will at least, consider a higher figure in the regular recruitment. view
