Allow me to request the Cabinet Secretary to take our greetings and our appreciation to the General for their professionalism and discipline as a unit of security in this country. Having said that, I am a little bit apprehensive listening to you and reading the Constitution; it is not clear. Once the forces are deployed, what self-propelling mechanism has the National Security Council put in place to ensure that once they are deployed they do not roll into taking over the Government?"

"content": "Thank you, Mr Speaker, Sir. You cannot fail to notice that today, Sen. Methu is very well-addressed and the hair looks good. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are a lot of things that I have not told you and this House. I have not told this House that at some point in my life, I lived in the barracks. My father is a former army officer, in the Kenya Army of that time. So, matters of security and matters of Defense are very close to my heart. The world over, armies are trained to do three things, whether it is explicit or not, they basically do three things. One is to fight and two is to kill, and three is to die for the motherland. That is the basic training of any army anywhere in the world, including Kenya. I would want to know from the Cabinet Secretary, our colleague, Hon. Soipan Tuya, about July, 2024 when the KDF was unleashed on our streets. First of all, which battalion is this that was released to the streets? What was the mandate of their mission; their mandate must be very clear. Has the Gazette, notice that released the KDF to the streets been revoked or are they in the streets in perpetuity?"

"content": "Thank you, Mr, Speaker, Sir. When the Cabinet Secretary was answering, she gave two examples and said in the North Rift where they were carrying out the “Maliza Uhalifu” Operation, the Inspector General of Police was in charge and the Defense Forces were supporting. In our neighbor, Lamu County when they were doing an Amani Boni Operation, it was the Chief of Defense Forces who was in command. We have the highest respect for our Defense Forces as a nation, discipline, and respect. The question is not on their primary duty, which is the territorial protection of this nation. The question always arises on their secondary duty, which is getting into civilian mix and you have explained it very well. Do quote the Constitution because it gives general principles. Why do you not have a law specific on deployment of the Army for civilian purposes? Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you go to inspect some projects, for instance, construction projects, you are told these ones are not advertised because the army will do them. We have no doubt that the army can do it. However, why is there not a proper legal framework which can be debated by the representatives of the people and made clear? Hon. CS, all these questions are around the law and the application of how the army mix up with civilian life. I submit, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
