    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also beg to support. I would like to note that we have come a long way from the old days when we were oppressed and harassed by the Special Branch. At that time the constitutional dispensation was such that the security of the Government and the rulers was of more important consideration instead of the security of the Kenyan nationals and the Government as a whole. I would say that this is a good Bill. It should be supported subject to comments by Members of Parliament. However, as we now have this Bill under a new constitutional order, we should completely break with the past. The National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) is a service for the Kenyan people. The Constitution says the people of Kenya are sovereign, so that at all times, the service should equally render services not just to the Government but also to the people of Kenya, including this Parliament. It should not be a service that is meant to serve just the Government of the day and the President, for that matter. I think this Bill will bring this new order into place."
