Victoria: The State House has reaffirmed its full respect for former heads of state and the legal provisions that guarantee their security and dignity. Routine national security assessments have highlighted the necessity for increased vigilance concerning President Herminie's security. In response, the Defence Forces are in the process of reviewing and adjusting protective measures to ensure both the safety of the President and the uninterrupted functioning of State institutions.
According to African Press Organization, these precautionary actions adhere to established national security frameworks and professional risk-management practices, with assurances that they are not politically motivated. The statutory security arrangements for former presidents remain intact, with no information suggesting any threat to their safety or that of their families.
The Government has indicated it will provide further communication upon the completion of the current review. Meanwhile, the public is encouraged to stay calm and engage responsibly, as State institutions continue to operate with professionalism, neutrality, and respect for the rule of law.
