Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der’s first 100 days in of­fice have drawn mixed re­ac­tions. Since the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress’ April 28 Gen­er­al Elec­tion vic­to­ry, the par­ty has adopt­ed its man­i­festo as Gov­ern­ment pol­i­cy, with its crime plan falling un­der the ban­ner of “Crime and Jus­tice Re­form”.

Three of the plan’s ob­jec­tives di­rect­ly linked to Alexan­der’s min­istry have been achieved thus far: re­struc­tur­ing the Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­istry, cre­at­ing the min­istry of home af­fairs, now Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty, and es­tab­lish­ing the Min­istry of De­fence.

The Min­istry of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty is tasked with main­tain­ing law and or­der, en­sur­ing pub­lic safe­ty and de­fence against ag­gres­sion, man­ag­ing dis­as­ter pre­pared­ness and re­lief, and mon­i­tor­ing and con­trol­ling the move­ment of peo­ple in­to and out of the coun­try.
