“We have been briefed properly but these are security issues we cannot really disclose any of it,” Senate Leader, Ali Ndume said while speaking to journalists after the meeting, The Nation reports.
“Unlike before, the Senate was not abreast or updated on the efforts they are making; now we have very full, honest, open and transparent discussion on the activities.
“This is a security meeting that we just had; it will be wrong for me to disclose the details.
