Hon. Deputy Speaker, from the outset I want to thank hon. Gumbo for raising--- The scenarios in which the KDF can be deployed internally are two. One is if there is an emergency or a disaster.

I have a feeling that in this situation, they are acting within Article 241(3)(b) as read together with Section 3 of the KDF Act.

Yes! Recruiting a competitive board with the Director-General can even be done by the parent Ministry. Therefore, an interim board for another one year and then you form another one – I tend to oppose.
