    "content": "Hon. Wakhungu, I think you have made your case. Order, hon. Members! I want the Chair of the Committee to address those issues. There is this Report with minutes and it also has that page. It says minutes of the 83rd sitting of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations held on Tuesday 9th September 2014 at Safari Park Hotel Nairobi at 3.45 p.m. It shows those who were present, the Chairperson and all of you with the exception of those who were absent with apology; hon. Adan Keynan, hon. John Londepe Nakara and hon. Wafula Wamunyinyi. Those were absent with apology. Those minutes had confirmation of the minutes of the various sittings of the Committee and were confirmed upon proposal by various Members as shown there. I want to confirm that hon. Wakhungu was present at 3.45. Minute No. 282/2014; Adoption of the Report of the Vetting of the Nominee for the Director General of the National Intelligence Service. This is what it reads:- “Members considered and adopted the Report on the vetting of the nominee for the position of Director-General of the National Intelligence Service. Minute No.283/2014; Adoption of the Report on the Vetting of the Nominees for the Position of Ambassadors, High Commissioners and Permanent Representatives. This is how it reads:- “Members considered and adopted the Report on the Vetting of the nominees for the position of the Ambassadors, High Commissioners and Permanent Representatives to various missions.” Minute 284/2014 is on Adjournment. It reads:- “There being no other business, the Chairperson adjourned the meeting at 4.30 p.m. It is then signed by the Chair. Annexed to this report, on the first page, is that page on attendance, which reads:- “In attendance for the meeting held on 9th September, 2014, 3.30 p.m.” This is all hand written:- “Afternoon - Adoption of the Report on the vetting of the Director-General and Ambassadors. This reads correctly “ambassadors”. I do not know. I think there are too many handwritten things. The Chairperson of the Committee, this is part of your Report. Of course, there is the other one which I have already indicated. This was on the Director-General. It also has this handwritten document. But this one, even though it is a photocopy, though reading at 09/09/2014 at 3.30 p.m., afternoon, this adoption of the report of the vetting of the Director-General and Ambassador. Either there is a problem with the Secretariat, in which case then, the Clerk should be directed to make sure that whoever is the Clerk in charge there, should never go anywhere near a Committee. That is because we cannot have incompetent people! What is this? Hon. Wamalwa has a point."
