    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I fully support the comments that have been made by Vice Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. We are receiving concerns from citizens. We are concerned as citizens about this NIIMS that they are talking about. If CS Matiang’i does not listen to the concerns of the citizens, who is he representing if not them? We represent them. We sit in this Senate; you will need laws to operationalize what you are putting into place. Where will you pass those laws if you do not want to talk to the Senate? Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to say that CSs are not law unto themselves. They are there to serve citizens and implement what is directed by both the Executive and Parliament. If they think we will keep quiet about the concerns on this NIIMS which touches on the very core of privacy of every citizen in this country, including somebody’s DNA, we are not going to keep quiet. We will shout and ensure that it will not pass until we are heard."
