Speaking on the New Day show on TV3 Monday April 4, Suhuyini said “we have to first of all tackle the issue of recruitment, get the recruitment right.
“The second thing is in-service training. After the recruitment, what is the nature of training given to them to remind them of the code? And then we can now talk about issue of motivation
“We need to revisit the way we recruit people into the security. In the past it wasn’t easy for people to go into the Army or Police like people do now.”
