Members of parliament this week will table a bill which is expected to give the National Intelligence Service[NIS] power to monitor mobile phone`s call,email and Sms without a court order.
This comes in after the government is undergoing vices of insecurity from a terror group claiming to be the Alshabaab.This has left more than 70 people dead at least in the last two months in Lamu. Upon an order from The Inspector General of Police issuing of curfew order to give Lamu resident a kind of rest due to the increased number of terror attacks,the resident has reacted negatively and call it as undemocratic and vow to go to court if the Inspector won`t remove this order.
To curb insecurity,MPs this week will be discussing various possible solutions including surveying of phone calls,emails and short text messages on individuals who Will be organizing any attack or breaking rules of the land on matters of security.This bill is geared towards getting culprits who will be using communication gadgets to mobilize the society to involve themselves in attacks,killing those involving in hate speeches and planning of such attacks.
However some citizen has negative respond towards this bill,some claiming that it will even make matters worse because some one in officer can bribe the law and things go as normal,others claim that indeed it will increase family conflict.
