Editorial: National Security brouhaha: Let’s go back to Short Commission Report
Private Legal Practitioner and Journalist with the Multimedia Group, Mr Samson Lardy Anyenini has called for the disbandment of the Ministry of National Security.
According to the Lawyer, operatives of the Ministry have failed to deliver on their mandate as an intelligence-gathering unit of the state. Rather, they have constantly engaged in the abuse of their powers by mostly functioning as a police force.
This is indeed true as the Ministry has been in the news lately for the bad reasons.
The Chronicle can also say that the ministry, among its functions to formulate, coordinate, monitoring and evaluate the implementation of security and intelligence policies through the deployment of skilled human resources and modern technology for stakeholders to enhance security, freedom of the citizenry and national development, seem to be deviating from its responsibility.
