Even though resources may not be sufficient, we have to, at all times, prioritise funding and making provision of resources for the Armed Forces and other security agencies a top priority as a government and as a nation.
“This, we will continue to do by the grace of God. For other citizens, we should continue to pray for our Armed Forces because they deserve every possible support.
