    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended - (a) by deleting the opening paragraph to sub-clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph (1) The Service is responsible for security intelligence and counter intelligence to enhance national security in accordance with the Constitution and shall-; (b) in sub-clause (1) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (q)- (qq) to advise county governments on appropriate security and intelligence matters; (c) in sub-clause (4) by deleting the words “and use of force” appearing in paragraph (a); (d) in sub-clause (6) by deleting the words “a fine not exceeding five hundred thousand shillings or imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or both” and substituting therefor the words “a fine not exceeding five million shillings or imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years or both” Again, this is to expand the functions of the National Security Intelligence Service. You will realize that now we have a devolved Government and one of their core- functions is to give intelligence advice to the Government. So, we felt that there has to be an additional function to provide the same intelligence and security advice to the county governments so that later on they do not say that they are only obligated to advise the National Government. So, this was made to expand and include more functions as required by the new Constitution taking into account the devolved Government structure that we are likely to have under the current dispensation."
