    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to agree that the only people who should be subjected to this are those who are suspects. I want to beg my colleagues that we read Article 24 of the Constitution. Sub-section (1) reads:- “A right or fundamental freedom in the Bill of rights, shall not be limited except by law---” So, if we make this law, by interpretation it means that we have limited freedom legally. I will go on:- “---and then only to the extent that the limitation is reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom, taking into account all the relevant factors.” Unless we want to make the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) impotent, then we must realize the intention of this is not what used to obtain in the old draconian days. The intention is that the person whose privacy is being interfered with has already been suspected; therefore, the agency will be doing everything possible to ensure that the person does not go on and carry out the felony that he is about to commit. If we allow Mr. Ogindo’s amendment to pass, it means the NIS will be working only on people who have already committed an offence. We want them to also work on people who are about to commit an offence so that we prevent the commitment of that particular offence."
