Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do believe that Kenya has come of age to have a unit that is able to gather information towards averting any crisis of any kind in this country. I know most of the people here have concentrated so much on crime. But I believe the versions of this agency, which is going to be the National Intelligence Service is not just to go around following criminals, but they have got the capability to get information related to other issues. The issues that affect security in a country are many. We can have a situation of a security threat if we have economic sabotage. If we do not get information from such an angle, then despite most of the things that we will be doing in this country, will not be able to propel this country where we want to go, especially economically. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have very many people coming into these country even to do research. Some of them could even be producing some very dangerous viruses that could affect our people here. That is where we need some of this information and a lot of intelligence, to know exactly what is happening in some of these laboratories. We could be following what happened to somebody when he committed a crime or made a statement which was not good, and then he was followed by the Intelligence Service. He would then come and complain in this House. I know that"
