    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have noted what the Chairman said, that this was agreed. However, I think it is a dangerous course and we should oppose this amendment. This is not just about financial reports. The clause reads:- “The Director-General shall within three months, at the end of each calendar year furnish the President, Cabinet Secretary and the National Security Council with a report of the activities of the Service----“ The key word is “activities”. There are some activities which are secret in nature. There are certain activities of this organization which cannot be contained in a report to Parliament because every report that comes to Parliament becomes a public report. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, since the report is being made to the Cabinet Secretary who will be reporting to the relevant Committees of this House, I propose that we leave Parliament out of Clause 82. I know that we want to empower ourselves but I do not think this is the kind of report, in the interest of this country, that should be brought to Parliament."
