"The role of a Director-General must be given to someone in uniform (in security forces) or at least with a two star rank so that complete orders can be given if a similar incident like Tanduo intrusion recurs," he said, when debating the motion of thanks."The Government needs to replace him with someone with better qualification and experience in handling crisis in security matters."
