    "content": "not move forward. So, this is a very important Report. Our national security should be subject to the Constitution of Kenya and to this Parliament because it is very important. I also want us to debate on this Motion with a bipartisan approach so that we can tackle it once and for all. Having looked at Article 247 of the Constitution and Section 16 of the National Security Council Act, Cap.206 of the Laws of Kenya and the entire Chapter 14 of the Constitution of Kenya, I think the Report was well drafted, but there exists some room for improvement. It is very important if national security was discussed in a bipartisan approach. When the Westgate attack took place, His Excellency the President, invited the former Prime Minister and the Vice-President, Raila and Kalonzo Musyoka to State House. They issued a statement. It united Kenyans because Kenya was under attack. That painted a very good picture and the whole country got united. We do not want insecurity to be treated as if it is a Government side issue. We want it to be discussed holistically by all sides."
