"The Security Cluster Must Be Well Funded," Finance Minister Speaks Ahead Of Budget Presentation

It’s very important that we should make sure that the security cluster is well funded, that soldiers have a decent meal, three meals a day, as well as the police.

Right now police can’t respond to incidents of crime because there are no motorcycles, no vehicles and so forth. They also have no decent place to live. So, think about their accommodation … and the same applies to the military.

His remarks come a week before he presents the 2020 national budget which is expected, as previous budgets, to prioritise the security sector ahead of other sectors like health and manufacturing.
