Kwara Assembly wants implementation of Security Trust Fund Law

Date: 2013-06-17

Kwara State House of Assembly at the weekend  called on the state government to as a matter of urgency implement the Security Trust Fund Law (KSSTFL). The seventh legislative assembly after much debate had recently passed the KSSTFL into law.

The lawmakers, who condemned the vandalization of government installations in the state, especially Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) cables, called on security agencies to rise to the occasion to stem down the rampant cases of theft of cables across the 16 local government areas of the state.

The legislature stressed the need for government to commence the execution of the law aimed at addressing the funding and logistic challenges confronting security agencies in the state with a view to curtailing insecurity.

This formed part of the resolutions reached by the Assembly following a matter of urgent public importance raised by the Majority Leader, AbdulGaniyu AbdulKareem on the incessant stealing of wire cables as well as armed robbery attacks along Ilorin/Ajasse-Ipo highways.

Reading the resolutions of  the House, the Deputy Speaker, Mohammed Gana Yisa, who presided over the proceedings, said the implementation of the law would make it mandatory for all corporate organizations and other stakeholders to make contributions into the funding of security agencies in the state.

Apparently dissatisfied with the security agencies' poor performances, the legislature also urged them to be more proactive by strengthening intelligence gathering to enhance prevention of crime rather than responding to crime perpetuation.

The House further urged the state government to immediately liaise with the relevant Federal Government agencies in restoring electricity to Afon and 15 other communities in Asa Local Government Area.

Also in the resolution, the House condemned in strong term the act of vandalism, particulaly of electric cables in Asa.

The lawmakers enjoined security operatives to be vigilant, urging them to investigate those behind the carting away of government properties and installations in the area. It mandated its committees on works and energy to look into the existing law on vandalism with a view to modifying it to meet contemporary challenges.

The House further mandated the state Traffic Management Agency (KWATMA) to check indiscriminate parking of trucks along Coca-Cola Road, in Ilorin metropolis to ensure free flow of traffic along the Road.

This was consequent upon a complaint brought by a member representing Omupo constituency, Mashood Bakare on the indiscriminate parking of trucks along the road.

To ensure compliance with its directives, the Assembly mandated its committees on energy, works and transport to liaise with the state ministry of works and transport to monitor the extent to which KWATMA had complied with the directive.
