    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) plays a critical role in providing security, intelligence and counter-intelligence to deal with emerging threats such as terrorism. There also exists extraordinary threats like, internal and socio-political threats, environmental and regional cyber threats, among others. Despite a proposed allocation of Ksh42.5 billion, the agency still faces budgetary constraints just like other agencies. We implore upon the service to deliver with available resources given the macro-economic constraints facing our country, such as rising debt levels and the ever-growing fiscal deficits. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is equally a very critical institution. As we speak about that, the NSIS is one critical institution which overlaps almost in every sector in this Government. They are everywhere and their success is going to impact on every sector of this economy, because without intelligence reports, we have no capacity of knowing what is happening. We have no chance of knowing what the foreigners are planning against us or for us; we have no chance of developing systems to counter foreseen threats."
