The National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) building has been renamed the Doctor Roger Forbes Luncheon Building in memory of the late long-serving Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Presidential Secretariat.
Dr Roger Luncheon, 74, died on August 2nd. He had been ailing for some time.
At the unveiling ceremony yesterday of the commemorative plague to honour Dr Luncheon and what has been described as his invaluable contribution in the establishment of the agency, President Irfaan Ali said that “intelligence is not about spying,” but rather “gathering the relevant, timely information to ensure the safety and security of the country and its people”. Ali said it is also about “national development and national prosperity.”
