    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, while empathising with the Mover of this particular amendment, it is practically impossible to subject the entire membership of the service through a vetting process. This is the ideal thing that we would have liked taking into account the fact that we are just about five months to the election. We are certain that we are going to have a new president. I believe that this would have been a very ideal thing to do if this was the beginning of a new term but subjecting the entire membership of the Service through a vetting process would be very risky. It is not tenable and is not in the national interest of the Republic of Kenya. Therefore, I want to plead with hon. Millie Odhiambo that she withdraws the amendment for the sake of the security of the Republic of Kenya. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we must appreciate the fact that because of our failure to do certain things in the process of police reforms, our police officers are not motivated and are not working as expected. If we had the same issues in the NIS, we would have crippled the entire security sector. Therefore, I want to plead with my sister that we delete this amendment, so that our intelligence officers can continue serving this country. Those who have disciplinary issues and other challenges will be sorted out in due course."
