• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, Clause 4(1) is a matter of definition. It just deals with replacing “national security” with “National Intelligence Service”. It is just a definition issue. The other bit is to provide for the requirement of Parliamentary approval. It is meant to put in place that provision so that whatever sections are captured in this Bill are also consistent with the Constitution. Largely, it is something that has been arrived at as a result of a consultative process between the Committee and all the other stakeholders, including the service provider. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, that will come in the subsequent amendment. There is a clear section on that. On this one, the first one was clearly to put the words “National Intelligence Service” in place of “national security”. Most of it was meant to harmonize the Bill in line with the Constitution and also to make it relevant to the view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, again, that Clause 4(5) is a typo. It talks about two thirds. The Constitution does not talk about two thirds. It talks about at least a third. So, again, there was a typo problem. We are just making it in line with the Constitution. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, first of all, to respond to Dr. Khalwale’s concern, if you read Article 27 on Equality and Freedom from Discrimination, it clearly provides on the issue of gender. What we are trying to cure in deleting “two thirds” is that it is not possible. It is opposite of what is captured in the Constitution. So, we are saying that in appointing persons as members of the service, the Director-General and the Council shall ensure that the composition of the service meets the gender requirement as enshrined in Article 27 of the Constitution. It even makes it clearer. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the second aspect which hon. Nkaisserry has raised is a matter of definition. The national security organ as clearly provided for in Articles 238, 239 and 242 talks about the police, the NSIS and the KDF. This Bill is for the National Intelligence Service. Clause 4(1) provides for the service in accordance with Article 242 instead of the national security organ, which is ambiguous. If you talk about the national security organ, then it brings in the police and the KDF. It talks about the National Intelligence Service in accordance with Article 242(1) of the Constitution and ... view
