    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Bill, at long last. I filed my request with the Chair the moment this Order was read out today, and I have been seated here since then. I do not want to dwell on that point but I think we should look into the discretion of the Chair in the future. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, any nation that does not have an intelligence service that stands tall to be able to seriously provide the necessary intelligence for its own security is not worth its name. Any nation that does not have an effective intelligence service does not need to exist in today’s world. Kenyans have to sacrifice a lot in order to protect themselves. Let me give an example of the situation in which we are today. We have a lot of problems with terrorism. If you go to a shopping mall today, regardless of who you are in society, you surrender to frisking by the “small” security personnel that you find at the entrance. Why are you doing that? It is for your own safety and for the safety of other people who are patronizing that place."
