• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, mine has already been overtaken by events. But we need to be very clear on this issue of definition. It was our expectation as Members of this House that the Committee should have consulted widely up to and including the Government, so that we do not mess up. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, if you look at Clause 5(1)(a) it is very clear on what the intelligence service is supposed to be doing. When you say “undertake security vetting”, we have to be very careful. We have no problem with the first one, but I want her to be clear on parts “b”, “c” and “d”. So as to avoid any doubts, then we should delete the first one. It is obvious that the NIS provides information. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was wondering whether I was in the system. So that we make progress, and I would love hon. Githae to listen, we have not come to this House to start making laws here. When I look at Clause 60, it has nothing to do with foreign power. It has just been introduced here. Is it an afterthought? For us to make progress, with your permission, let us recommit Clause 60 and then we can come back to it. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Hon. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, please, guide us. When hon. Millie proposed her amendment, she did not prosecute. However, when you put it to vote, it was defeated. What hon. Baiya is proposing, and I want hon.

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have listened to the Chair of the CIOC and I am not fully convinced on the reasons behind the deletion of this Clause. In fact, some of us have been accusing some Government departments for not utilizing very important information that they receive from NSIS and we have been looking for a way in which they should become accountable to the reports that are given to them. We have seen the massacres in this country. Sometimes when you talk to the NSIS or NIS for this matter, they will always tell you, “We gave them ... view
