The meeting, attended by the top NIS officials led by Major Gen. Philip Kameru, sought to enhance committee members’ understanding of NIS mandate, and to review the Service’s Budget Implementation Status for the first three quarters FY 2022/23.
Committee Vice-Chair Bashir Abdullah, who presided over the meeting rooted for deeper engagements with the Service for proper facilitation by the committee including adequate budgetary allocation.
