The Nation Newspaper Insecurity: NASS may ask president to reintroduce cashless police, says Speaker Abbas
, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen has revealed that there was pressure on the leadership of the House to ask the president to return the nation back to the era of cashless policy.
The Speaker said the reintroduction of the cashless policy may be one of the non-kinetic approach to curbing the rising cases of I security in the country, saying ‘maybe what was started and later abandoned maybe the solution we are looking for. “I want to challenge you to put on your thinking cap, think outside the box and come up with suggestions for the executive and the parliament on what we need to do to bring to an end this incessant insecurity that is affecting this country.
“We want you to put it as part of your study. What could be the impact of a cashless society vis-a-vis insecurity. Can one complement the other?“I am sure that Mr. President and the parliament will be interested whether it is a policy that we need to reintroduce and probably give it a better human face if it will help improve the security of the country at the end of the day”.
“The bill was there and we were unable to conclude the entire legislation process before we winded up. This time around, we are starting early and I want to assure you that under the 10th Assembly, the full name of your institution will be given legal backing.”
