Clearly, the current rate that the PNP is receiving is not enough given the current house rental fees. 
The abovementioned amount is not sufficient to afford our police and their families decent homes for 
them to stay in. 
i 
This bill seeks to increase the quarter's allowance of the PNP. It is a small token that~we could give 
them considering the task that they are given. The author hopes that the said increase Would motivate 
our police further in fulfilling their mandates. 
In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is came ly sought.
