Members of Parliament in Eswatini have requested that the Prime Minister, Rusell Mmiso Dlamini, provide clarity on the number of individuals to be recruited into the Royal Eswatini Police Service.

The MPs raised their concerns during a debate on the prime minister’s office second-quarter performance report in Parliament, with Deputy Prime Minister Thuli Dladla representing the PM.

The MPs are seeking answers on how many applicants will be recruited and whether the government can consider taking as many as half of those who applied.
