Thank you Chair. The Head of Criminal Investigations Department (CID) is actually with the President at the moment; since morning, the president has been chairing a high level security meeting composed of all the top security commanders from all the 47 counties to go to the bottom of the insecurity in the country. Hon. Keynan raised a very fundamental issue. The security of our people would improve far better if the leadership at all levels got involved.

Hon. Speaker, Sir, I have allowed hon. Keynan to give me that information because he chaired the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. He had the pleasure of serving in the last Parliament. The Members are asking whether the NIS is giving prompt information because you can give information after an incident has happened, that is after Kenyans have lost their lives.
