Former Assistant Interior Minister Ashraf Amin blamed the government for failing to issue legislation supporting security.
He told Al-Mehwar 2 channel on Wednesday that the government does not have the political will to prevent terrorism.
“It must be a government of security,” he said. “This means that 75 percent of the state budget and strategy must be directed to security.”
“Once security is restored, all state institutions will function,” he added, calling for human and material support for the security services to control terrorism, and for quick judicial rulings in cases of terrorism.
