    "content": " Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, the reason I will support the deletion of this clause is that when you look at all the other Joint Committees within the Senate, they have a lot to do with the coordination between the two Houses on matters that are shared by the two Houses. Intelligence is certainly not one of the issues in terms of the workings of the two Houses. So, I will be supporting the deletion from that perspective; that the Senate is constituted to deal with issues of county governments and support devolution. The National Assembly has national issues. You cannot put the two together and expect a result. So, I will be supporting, from that perspective, that this Committee looks like it is hanging when you compare it with the other Committee on National Cohesion, which is a shared issue, and also the Joint Committee on Broadcasting and Library but Intelligence is outside Parliament. It is actually now getting into other mandates within the Constitution. On that basis, I will be happy that we remove it and let those issues be handled in separate Houses based on the constitutional mandates of the Houses."
