    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand to oppose this amendment. I want us to listen. This is a very dangerous amendment. First of all, Clause 86(2) has already saved the current Director-General (DG) and it says: “Subject to Section 31(2) of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution, a person who immediately before the commencement of this Act was a Director-General of the National Security Intelligence Service shall continue to hold office for the unexpired period of the term.” Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you suspend Section 7 which says: “There shall be a Director-General of the Service who shall be appointed by the President”, what you are saying is that you are conditioning the President to have that Director-General for his entire period of an unexpired term. That is wrong. A new President who comes in can choose to replace the Director-General. There is no reason why he should, for example, bar Martha Karua after winning the presidency from replacing the current Director-General."
