some of the disturbing changes being proposed include;
It appears like the crafters of the infamous security bill were not satisfied by the push back that characterized its debate and passage, they have brought back some sections that was either struck off either by the courts or the parliament.
The content of this bill by Jubilee administration is in bad taste and an outright unconstitutional and do hope that the public will oppose it. Should the tyranny of numbers prevail in the national assembly without any meaningful debate and amendments, the matter must be taken to court.

some of the disturbing changes being proposed include;
- Make the commander in chief be in charge of the budgeting, hiring and oversight – with the fraud and resource hemorrhaging that is currently being witnessed in the country, KQ being insolvent (with 80% of top management being from the same tribe).The auditor general will not interrogate the accounts of the KDF
- The bill also proposes not to compensate military personnel should they get hurt while serving or training.
- Allows Court Martial to try civilians – this can be used to detain perceived government critics just as they do in Ethiopia, Uganda and Rwanda
