    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, to try and calm those Members who feel that we are removing everything, Clause 79(1) still remains, which says that:- “It shall be the duty of every person, State organ, State Department or agency or public entity to afford the service, the co-operation and assistance necessary to enable it perform its functions under the Constitution, this Act or any other written law”. So, once you have that and obviously information comes, in the event that that has not happened, it is then up to the other organs; the policy organs, namely, the National Security and Intelligence Council and the other councils of the national security apparatus, to then decide that this particular officer has failed in his duty because he failed to undertake the advice given. But if you say that you must comply and you will be held personally liable, who will decide whether that complying has come or not? You give this entity oversight over the police and the KDF – something which is not envisaged in the Constitution - including President or Parliament. Supposing they say that there is going to be riots unless we pass a certain Bill, will we then drag the Speaker, because Parliament has failed to pass that Bill? It is indeed, going beyond the requirement."
