    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a follow-up supplementary question. Let me thank the Cabinet Secretary for Defence, Hon. Soipan Tuya, for the response to the structured questions. However, I want her to highlight one question. There is no doubt reference is made to parliamentary approval for intervention and to keeping with the tenets under Article 241(3) of the Constitution and the involvement of the NSC where there are threats for internal intervention. I want the Cabinet Secretary to clarify, and this is a delicate line, between inability of the NPS to deal with internal strife and the point at which the KDF will intervene. When answering question (c), you have not dealt with the question of threshold. At what point is it deemed fit for KDF to intervene when there is a real threat and the NPS is unable to contain it? I am asking this because at times an intervention can be a little too late. Lastly, Madam Cabinet Secretary, I have seen other jurisdictions like Burkina Faso where security is interpreted to include food security, security in a wider sense. The KDF of that country spends most of its time in food production and other activities other than just staying in the barracks until there is a threat of security to the country. Is there anything that we can do to ensure that our forces do other things to ensure that we take care of the other security issues other than simply fighting?
