    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, it is also good for us to take into account the provisions of Article 239 of the Constitution which clearly spells out the organs that constitute the national security organ. It says the national security organs are the Kenya Defence Forces, the National Intelligence Service and the National Police Service. Listening to the Chairman of the CIOC, in particular on Clause 4, I foresee that we are going to have a very serious jurisdictional conflict in particular between the NIS and the KDF. For example, if as a result of failure by a State organ, the State Department or agency or public entity to comply with the advice of the Service and harm or prejudice is occasioned to national security, the head of that State organ, State Department or agency or public entity shall be held personally liable for the harm or prejudice. Take this hypothetical scenario that the Commander of the KDF accepts information from the Military intelligence and disregards information from the NIS - we have legislated this and this is why I am persuaded by what the CIOC has recommended to even make it better on addition to what we have recommended - he issues a warrant that the Commandant of the KDF has failed to comply with or failed to use information provided by the agency, then you can see the kind of jurisdictional conflict they are likely to create. That aspect must be cured right now and I want to accept what has been suggested by the Chairman of the CIOC."
