    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Committee Report on the appointment of Gen. Kameru. Let me first congratulate the Committee for this very good report and also congratulate the President for the appointment of the General. This is a very important position for the security of this country and I have only two issues to raise. As much as I support the General, this trend of picking the DG of the NIS has become worrying, especially to the employees or the senior directors of the NIS. It is really demoralising that the deputies who are there, and who are supposed to be promoted because they have worked for so many years are left out. They should have been promoted to this position. Hon. Speaker, by saying so I am not opposing the appointment of Gen. Kameru, but I am saying that in future the President must look into that, so that we give morale to officers who have been working, and also provide room for the lower level officers to move upwards. Hon. Speaker, the issues surrounding NIS and its functions are very important."
