LABOUR DAY MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS MR. CHARLES FONSEKA

As the custodians of Law and Order, and the security and safety of the country, the immense responsibility that you carry is very much recognised and appreciated. I therefore thank you for your continued efforts on the occasion of Labour Day.

To the Police Officers who maintain the security of our people, to the Prison Officers and support staff who work towards the rehabilitation of inmates so they can positively re-integrate into society. To the team of the Immigration Department who deliver crucial services to the public and maintain border control, to the Disaster Risk Management team who are always planning ahead to ensure our safety. To the Firefighters, Search & Rescue Teams and Lifeguards who take incredible risks every time they respond to an emergency, the employees of the Regional Centres who ensure information sharing and that there is constant surveillance of our Exclusive Economic Zone, and to the Secretariat staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who are truly the backbone of the Ministry, I thank you all.

I wish you all a very Happy Labour Day.
