    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. As I read this Motion, I agree entirely with the Mover, up to the counter terrorist activities. I say so, because the President has already been mandated and the Constitution also mandates the National Security Council (NSC), which constitutes of the President, the Deputy President, Cabinet Secretaries in charge of Defence, Foreign Affairs, Interior and co-ordination of National Government, the Attorney General, Chief of Defence Forces, Director General of National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Inspector- General. It is their mandate to exercise advisory control over national security organs and perform any other function prescribed by the national legislation. The Chairman, who presides over the Council, appoints the secretary. Article 241(1) (6) (b) states that:- “The Council shall access and appraise objectives, commitments and risks to the republic in respect of actual and potential national Security capabilities.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
