"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I have allowed hon. Keynan to give me that information because he chaired the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. He had the pleasure of serving in the last Parliament. The Members are asking whether the NIS is giving prompt information because you can give information after an incident has happened, that is after Kenyans have lost their lives. I will leave that to the relevant departmental committee that will grill the personnel of the NIS. Every institution of security in this country has an obligation, a function and a role. This Parliament allocates the taxpayersâ money to that institution. I am sure that from next week, if we approve the names today, you will have the chance to grill that institution. Finally, hon. Members also talked about the equipment. I want to assure the Members that this House has the mandate to scrutinize the budget, the spending and the implementation. So, it is us, in our respective committees and positions as leaders and on the Floor of the House, who must, at all times, ensure that the money budgeted is used at the right place, quality is ensured and implementation is undertaken as per the Constitution."
