The National Assembly says it has received the National Security Service Bill to be examined further.

There were concerns that the bill could threaten people’s freedom.

Thomas Kundu is the Chairperson of the Information Committee in the National Parliament.

“We need a bill which can include views and ideas of all the people because as we know security is everyone’s responsibility not for individual.” He said.

He says the draft bill will be sent to the defense and security committee for scrutiny.

“We will discuss it frankly and clearly and ensure that we correct all the controversial provisions, and replace them with good ones so that we have general and appropriate bill for the people in the country.” Kundu said.
