In 1992 Löschnak, as Minister of the Interior, succeeded in providing a so-called "security billion". This extraordinary Budge items in the amount of 1 billion shillings was for the equipment and increase the executive branch used. The main reason given was the opening of the Austrian eastern border in previous years.
