Member of Parliament for the area, Mr Ernest Norgbey has condemned the manner in which the Military are handling the situation, stating that “they can be peeved because one of their own is gone but brutalizing people is not the solution to this problem.”

In an interview on the Sunrise show on 3FM with Johnnie Hughes Tuesday March 7, ,Mr Norgbey added that he was very sure where the military men are coming from, however, efforts to reach them have been futile.
