He said: “The President should make the issue of security a priority.
”He should leave every other thing and concentrate on security. That means even if they will stop paying us and use the money to tackle security.
Is it not when you are secured that you talk of other things? It is not only the politicians but everybody.
“If you know that you cannot move out of your house and they say sacrifice your salary, won’t you do it? Many people are working from home, yet they are being paid.
