“This morning, I convened a meeting of heads of departments and agencies under the State Department for Internal Security and National Administration to review our priorities and strategies for effective implementation,” Murkomen said.

“Our priorities include renewed fight against alcohol and drug abuse, sustaining the fight against banditry and criminal gangs, and bringing government services closer to the people,” Murkomen said.
He added that the ministry will pursue closer coordination among agencies to ensure the timely delivery of reforms that respond to public needs, particularly in security-affected regions.
“We will work together as a Ministry to ensure efficient service delivery, strengthened coordination, and timely implementation of reforms that respond to the needs of the people,” he said.
