    "content": "Therefore, what I am attempting to do is, anything that is related to defence and also to foreign issues, put them under one committee. All other issues on homeland security and other quasi-security Ministries like immigration and prisons, put them under the national administration and national security. So, these two committees, one will deal with intelligence, defence and foreign affairs. The other one will deal with homeland security. The same will apply for the Senate. There is a committee that will be called “National Security and Foreign Relations”. . Since it is a different House, this means all these will be lumped together, which makes some sense. So, these committees exist and what I am trying to do here is to harmonize their roles. I want to be challenged on this. Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry is here and those who are versed with defence issues are here. Nowhere in the world is defence lumped with the police. If you want us to experiment with this, then we will be the first country to do so. But I want to suggest that we accept my suggestion. We are not deleting any committee. Most of you who have the schedules can see that home affairs is now lumped with national security and administration. Under home affairs are key security institutions like the prisons, immigration and public administration. So, we are putting that as part of the homeland security and leaving defence as a separate entity. These are some of the best practices in all the jurisdictions that we have visited. If you want to change, then, again, you will be starting something in the Kenyan context."
