    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a serious difficulty with what we are about to do. If we delete Clause 67, I would like hon. Members to look at what the clause is saying at the moment. If you look at Sub-clause 2, it is saying: “Notwithstanding Sub-section 1, the Committee shall not.” It prohibits the Committee in those many lines from indulging in operational issues of the Service. Let me make my point. I do not have to be right but you can hear me. So, the real success of the Service is housed in the fact, that it enjoys operational autonomy that not the President; not this Parliament and not the Judiciary can direct the Director-General (DG) on how to carry out operational activities. So, if you allow this amendment to go through, it means, therefore, that when the DG comes before Parliament, he has to disclose the intelligence gathering, the priorities he has and he is supposed to disclose sources of his or her information."
