Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have never opposed a Committee Report. So, I will be doing history today by opposing this Report.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Report has nine witnesses. It is based on the evidence of nine witnesses and except one, all the others agreed. Yet, the Committee’s recommendations are opposed to the agreement of those eight witnesses. Therefore, the Committee’s evidence and conclusions do not align.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, number two, I note three key problems the Committee had with the gentlemen they spoke about. One was that a contract was cancelled. That contract, as the hon. Minister has said, was cancelled on the basis of a Cabinet decision. So, if somebody was wrong, it was the Cabinet that was wrong and not an individual Minister or the Governor. Number two, earlier, the hon. Mwiraria had done exactly the same thing---

We will not fall into the trap that many a nation have fallen into where different communities and different religious groupings spend their energies, time ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I think those who want to support the Service, when you talk about legislation or regulation that is not the role of this Service. Lawmaking is the role of Parliament, whether it is delegated legislation or substantive legislation. So, we are just saying that Parliament, and this is per the Constitution, that all delegated legislation will have to be done by Parliament anyway. Why do you want the Cabinet Secretary to legislate over something very crucial as to determine the categories of security classifications? That is the whole essence of the Freedom of ...
