• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I rise to support the further amendment.

Some of the things in this Bill like this one, we had said during the debate, that we want this agency to have one role namely, gathering intelligence information. We have faulted NSIS, which we are running away from and which we are reforming with this Act for being used or getting involved in politics. By making this amendment, we are taking them away from the ... view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am on a point of clarification. What I get both sides to be saying is that we need this kind of clause for emergency.

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. It is important that our colleagues on the other side of thinking understand what we are trying to do for this country this morning. The “other side of thinking” means the conservatives who think things will not change. I want to plead with Mr. Githae who is not old, but he is just too old in his thinking.
