Kenya's spy agency has warned Parliament against effecting a Sh10 billion budget cut, arguing it will hit its efforts to secure the country against security threats including terrorism.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) told Parliament that the massive budget cut will affect intelligence gathering, hiring of new officers and the ongoing construction of a hospital for its spymasters.
