    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to oppose the amendment for the following reason; probably, the hon. Member is mistaking this to mean that you will require a certificate of clearance from NIS. This particular clause does not contemplate a situation whereby you have to be given a certificate of clearance. It simply says confidential information about you is passed over to the vetting authority so that the vetting authority makes an informed decision. Let me connect this to the important issue of running for presidency of the Republic of Kenya. It is a vettable position, Kenyans must know. Now we have provided in the Constitution that if you are not a Kenyan citizen by birth, you cannot be the President of this country. Because of the cross border events we have, for example, people from the Luhya community who, part of the family lives in Uganda and the other part lives in Kenya, one can very well pass and say that my name is hon. Wamalwa, a Kenyan when in real effect the man is a Ugandan. Let me give you an example. The Vice-President of Kenya in the last Parliament hon. Moody Awori, his own brother was also running for presidency in Uganda. So, if we do not have this kind of intelligence, a very important breach can be made."
