Kaliburg: Premier Bret Robinson has announced, together with the CPK party leadership, that they will propose a bill to the floor of the assembly that will ask parliament to authorize additional investments into the National Navy. According to Robinson the recent tensions within the Ananto strait have caused many within navy circles to become worried about the possibility of conflict over the strait. This possibility combined with the Kalistani navy remaining thinly stredged out following the creation of the exlusion zone is reason enough for Kalistan to need investment into its naval forces said Premier Robinson.

Robinson, who is nearing the end of his second term, has made it his "task" to strengthen the security of Kalistan and has now convinced his party to take over the stance. In the plan, which is likely to be proposed in the coming months, the CPK supported by Robinson will ask for a 3 billion LOD investment in the construction of new ships and another 1 billion in Research and Development of new munitions and other naval equipment.
If the proposal is to pass the Ministry of Defense will "immediately work with our private bussinesspartners to look which ships could additionally be constructed". In addition to investments into the navy Robinson has also announced increased training for naval officers and the creation of a naval nerve center to ensure quick coordination between all naval forces.

The proposal which Robinson has named the "Military Investment for Stability Act (MISA)" will likely receive support from several party's within the assembly but it remains to be seen whether it will receive a majority of votes.
