    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I wish to thank hon. Members of this House for the most considered responses and support of this Motion that we have received; hon. Members have also echoed the sentiments of my Committee. Very, briefly in response to hon. Njuki’s question on the degree qualification of a candidate--- Under Section 7(b) of the NIS Act, to be the Director-General of the NIS, you must have a degree. That degree was supplied to the Committee, is in the possession of the Clerk; should he wish to peruse the document, he is most welcome to do so. Hon. Speaker, I have no doubt in my mind that Major-General Kameru will transform the face and, indeed, body of the NIS. I believe we will now have a DG, who will stand shoulder to shoulder with the best intelligence officers in the region and, indeed, the world. This House and, indeed, all Kenyans can look forward to a transformed NIS, which they can have confidence in. Our Committee of Defence and Foreign Relations is committed to continuing its oversight role on the NIS, and on other departments that fall within our docket. We assure Kenyans that we will continue to monitor the performance of the new DG of the NIS in the interests of this Parliament and of the great people of the Republic of Kenya. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
