    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he walked into that. But on the power to tap into peoples’ phones, our freedoms cannot be surrendered to NSIS. I want a situation where, before you tap Dr. Khalwale’s phone, please go to court and give reasons why you want permission to tap Dr. Khalwale’s phone. It is not that the NSIS has not been tapping our phones. They tap your phone, including you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, unlawfully. So now, what we are trying to do is to give them that power in law to keep violating our rights. They will not get that right through this House. It would be the wrong thing to do for Kenyans because you do not know the composition of this force. We want to open it up tomorrow. We will turn it upside down and make it a force that will conform to the aspirations of our freedoms as laid down in the Constitution. On the issue of qualifications of the seven directors, just about two have up to university degrees. What kind of working environment is that? Let us define qualifications. We must define standards of people who are going to hold classified information. It cannot be every Tom, Dick and Harry. We are going to be proposing clear and stringent qualifications for members of that organization."
