    "content": "When it comes to the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) or National Intelligence Service (NIS), I also recommend that they should be armed. These people should have guns. I have seen at one time robbers go into a bank but there was a CID officer there and he was able to save the situation. If we do not arm the officers, we shall be saying that criminals got away. I also suggest that officers in plainclothes be armed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, normally, when robbers are caught, we find that some of them are ex-soldiers. Since we have the best intelligence service in Africa, we also have the strongest or worst criminals, because most of them are ex-soldiers. That is why we need to boost the officers and be ahead of criminals. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 37 talks about privacy. Personally, I advocate people’s privacy. I am against that clause and it should be amended. If families are exposed, then it will be too bad for us. This clause should be amended to protect families. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to plead with the Executive that since we lost the Minister and his Assistant Minister, their replacement should have been done immediately. Right now, we have a Minister who is acting, yet there are very many issues arising. The President should have taken the matter seriously and see to it that the late Minister and his assistant are replaced. We have enough people to be appointed as Ministers. I do not see the reason why the Executive is still delaying. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
