Speaking to the media, the Minister of Interior Ambrose Dery indicated that the additional number of police personnel will provide security for MPs at their residence.
“Subsequently, to get to where we want to get to means that, we should have 800 police added so that each MP will also have security at home in the day and night,” he said. Judges have that, Ministers have that. Indeed, the leadership of Parliament has that. Thanks to the retooling we did, we got adequate police personnel to deal with the 200, but we have to move it further”, the Minister said.
The Minister has already deployed 200 policemen to guard parliamentarians till the end of the year.
