    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the NSIS is a key institution that we need to support. I am grateful that the BAC has tried to assist it. However, their proposal was that they get about Ksh46 billion so that they can achieve their goals. This being a new year, and one which we are preparing for the national elections, it is critical that the NIS is given resources and the support they need. They will ensure that there is safety and order. They will offer us protection. It is because they are the people who feed information to the Police, especially the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, so that they can act on the information they have been given. When we started supporting them, the Al-Shabaab and other terrorist threats went down drastically. Some people might ask: What is it that is being done by NSIS? They work to stop or pre-empt. Their work is to ensure that it does not happen, but people are waiting for things to happen, then they will appreciate that NSIS is working. My Committee has had an opportunity of going to the institutions. I will tell you we have never appreciated the kind of work they are doing. It is great and we are grateful that we have the kind of people in that department especially under the leadership of the general who has done The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
