# Parliament’s portfolio committee on Police chairperson, Ian Cameron, is calling for the Police ministry to provide a detailed explanation on the allocated 600-million-rand to strengthen security measures for next week’s anti-immigration protest. Acting minister of Police Firoz Cachalia has defended the expenditure, saying large-scale security operations are necessary when there are attempts to destabilise the country. Cameron says there is a legitimate need for SAPS to prepare properly for any protest that may carry a risk of violence, but this does not remove the obligation to account for the cost.
