    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Constitution of Kenya is the supreme law of the land. It gives all the arms of the Government responsibilities and autonomy in their way of operation. Articles 95 and 96 of the Constitution mandates Parliament to oversee, legislate and represent the people. Article 240 of the Constitution gives Parliament the sole responsibility of approving a proposal to deploy forces by the National Security Council upon being given a proposal which it can agree or decline to approve. That is the responsibility of Parliament of Kenya. Article 240(8) states that: “The Council may, with the approval of Parliament-- (a) deploy national forces outside Kenya for-- (i) regional or international peace support operations; or (ii) other support operations; and (b) approve the deployment of foreign forces in Kenya.” 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."
