    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I support the Bill. Definitely, Kenya needs a well equipped and well formed intelligence service. There is no doubt about that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not repeat what quite a number of the Members have said in terms of improvement to the Bill. I support quite a number of what they said. I would like to just mention an area that has not been touched and I believe that will improve the Bill. While our intelligence services have been collecting information, quite often we are told they have provided information in advance; there has been laxity on the part of public officers who are supposed to act on that information. For example, in Northern Kenya, we have more than 100 people who organize themselves. They go to villages and massacre people. If police officers used the intelligence information provided to them, then we would have averted the deaths of many people. We have just been told of the massacre in Tana River. So, my proposal is if police officers do not act on the intelligence information given to them by the NSIS, then they should suffer the consequences. It is not enough---"
