"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion with very solid reasons. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you read this Motion, you will find that it goes against what the Government initially told this Parliament. The Government told this Parliament that they were going to have a short mission. They said that they were going into Somalia in respect of hot pursuit, come back and we finish this mission. We have filed a Question asking how much money has been spent. That Question was never approved; it has never come to the Floor of the House for us to know the extent of this Government’s involvement in this war. I am speaking like this because right now, we have a lot of internal problems in the family and the soil called Kenya. We have doctors striking, we have just ended the problems with teachers but they are threatening on other things; we have a deluge of rain that will require that people be supplied with food, but from where? After that, we have to repair the infrastructure that has been washed away. We are talking about the same money; a shrinking economy, and here we are saying that we want to support the conversion of our initial mission in Somalia from a normal, temporary, self protection mission to an engagement under AMISOM."

Just for the sake of us knowing, AMISOM is the African Union mission that went to Somalia on 19th January, 2007 to replace the Ethiopian troops that had been called in to support the weak TFG Government. Ethiopia initially intervened at the request of the TFG. This mission was approved by the AU, and had a mandate; I wish to read that mandate."

I want to add that there have been two models of intervention whenever AU has gone to maintain peace or to try and stabilize a region. The model under which Kenya is being asked--- In fact the model in which AMISOM is engaged in Somalia is the Burundian Model,” which is the TCC – Troop Contributing Countries - in which each country which contributes troops is supposed to take primary responsibility for those troops."

Member in order to misinform this House that when the troop contributing nations came together and contributed troops to AMISOM, the agreement was that each country would take responsibility for them, including paying them? AMISOM was decided on by the AU countries. The AU decided that there was a need to take troops to Somalia, whose agenda was specifically what he mentioned. Is he in order to misinform the House? Who pays? Right now the USA and Italy governments are paying the money for the maintenance of the AMISOM troops. Kenya, as a troop contributing country under this mission would seek the recommendation of the AU as to how our troops would be funded. The Kenya Government will not participate in raising money."
