MPs have approved the appointment of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji as the next spymaster, paving the way for him to return to the National Intelligence Service (NIS), where he was a top spy officer.
The National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations has recommended his approval, which will see him replace retiring Major-General (Rtd) Philip Kameru, who has been the NIS director-general since 2014.
