    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations was able to sit on Friday and deliberate on this matter. Presentation was given by the NIS leadership. We were satisfied with what they presented, particularly the emerging threat in the North Eastern and the Coastal regions that we have experienced over the last couple of weeks which was unforeseen. They thought that it was important that they see this as plugging the gap in what they had requested before in the sum of Kshs900 million. Secondly, they confirmed to us that the additional funding was requested primarily to ensure that during the election process or the electioneering period, the country has water-tight security, particularly in the area of deploying equipment throughout the country. Therefore, we were satisfied with what they presented. I request the House to approve the sum of Kshs300 million to NIS."
