No. The document requested deals with sensitive security matters and is
therefore classified.
Until such a time that Parliament suggests a mechanism of discussing this
project and ensure that the security of the President is not jeopardised I
will be unable to publish such information. The ultimate objective is to
protect the sensitive security information concerning the Presidentâs
private residence.
