    "content": "It is, therefore, very important that we recommend and approve a person who will be able to address the issues of security at the Security Council of this nation. We must understand as a House that the only organ of security that reports directly to the President is the National Intelligence Service. The other one reports directly to the Inspector-General, who is in charge of operations of the security situation in the country. The Cabinet Secretary in charge of security is only in charge of policy but, what we have witnessed in the past is that the Cabinet Secretary is now being reduced into handling operation matters. I think and want to believe that with the incoming of Douglas Kanja as the Inspector-General, he will take up the responsibility of operations of the security organs in this country. The Inspector-General is in charge of three large departments; that is the Inspector-General of Police, the Inspector- General of Administration Police or what they call Critical Infrastructure Police Unit (CIPU) and also now the traffic and the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). That person’s character and experience must be of high standards and that is what we are seeing from the Report that has been presented by the Committee. I thank the Committee for that. 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."
