We are not dealing with the causes. The main cause is a serious jurisdictional conflict among the various arms of our security agencies; a problem which must be addressed immediately. The change is good; it is symbolic but it must be matched with a functional security system. I expected that by this evening, my Chairman would be whipping us to say that he has a raft of amendments to the National Police Service Act, the Kenya Defence Forces Act, the National Intelligence Service Act, the Provincial Administration Act and the County Governments Act, so that we can have harmony in the functioning of our security agencies. As a senior official of the CORD coalition, I can tell this House that we are prepared to support any progressive amendment aimed at creating harmony in the way our security institutions function because without those institutions, we do not have a Republic. Without those institutions, we do not have peace. Without those institutions, Kenya will be a candidate for a failed state. With those many remarks, I would like to ask hon. (Col.) Rasso, the Member for Saku; an experienced Member of the Defence and Foreign Relations Committee, to second this Bill."
