internal security of the National Assembly to overhaul the existing security
setup of the National Assembly over report of possible insurgents attack.
Barwa Beji who moved the motion cited a newspaper report on
possible attack by the insurgents on the National Assembly.
Moving the motion, Beji said that media report has it that
several unknown persons have been seen around the National Assembly but claimed
to be visiting their lawmaker.
He called for the cooperation of his colleagues to tackle
the danger.
“Several suspicious people have been seen around national
assembly. The cooperation of the lawmakers will be really important, since
those people have been linked to us,” he said.
The lawmaker also accused the security agents at the
National Assembly of compromising the security of the Complex by collecting
bribe at the gate to allow people in.
“We are aware of the compromise by security agents, who
collects tokens to allow such people to entre. Also aware of the delay in
giving identity cards to the people who are coming into the national assembly,”
he stated.
The House, therefore, resolved to mandate the management of
the National Assembly to speed up the process of issuing identity Cards to
vendors operating at the national assembly and to investigate the report.
