State Secretary Of Security Council Tells How Many Law Enforcement Officers Lukashenka Needs

Belarus needs as many law enforcement officers as it is required in accordance with the real situation.

State Secretary of the Security Council Stanislau Zas has informed this in a TV-program “Main Air”. The interview with him was shown by the “Belarus 1” TV-channel in the evening on December 25.

Zas has told about the optimization in the force structures. He has said that the optimization is being conducted under Aliaksandr Lukashenka’s demand: “The state leader harshly demands we should get rid of everything which was made up, all the excess functions and low-priority tasks. We should get rid of everything without which it remains possible to work and fulfill our primary tasks as intended," — the official has clarified.

He has added that laid-offs among the law enforcement officers are carried out gradually and steadily. Zas has also outlined the main goal of such measures: “We see the main goal (it has also been defined by the state leader): we should have as many security officials, as our country requires given the current situation.”
