"content": "I want to congratulate our military forces for what they have done. I think they have a lot of lessons to teach to their colleagues in the regular police, administration police and others. They have shown us how a force can go, assemble itself, and do what they were meant to do, without causing unnecessary hassle. I want to say this military strategy which was primarily meant to make or reduce Al Shabaab’s military capability to nil is a success. Therefore, we are likely to have that lacuna. If we have a lacuna, and you do not have people there who are going to manage, then we will have another format of Al Shabab or something similar. Therefore, this Motion is timely. Our intention was never to go there and occupy the land of Somalia. We have never been at war with our neighbour. Our target was and is to eliminate Al Shabaab ."

A political solution is not a military intervention. That now should be focal point of our next move. We should assist them to solve their problems. Whatever they are quarrelling about, there must be a political solution in Somalia. We should be able to help. Now that the guns are silent, we should be able now to help the Somali people form their own Government."

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we achieve that, we should have our think-tanks up with economic strategy. Kenya should not squander this chance. In my view, we should be thinking of putting a railway line from Nairobi to Kismayu or Mogadishu. If we do so, the private sector will take over. They will discover Somalia is a good country to do business and tour. They can use the Port of Kismayu or Mogadishu to import their goods. I am sure we will discover many things about our neighbour and the issue of Al Shabaab will come to an end. Let us not only focus on military intervention, but let us think of what we can do in Somali."

What mistakes have they done on earth? Nothing! What is it that we could not solve there in Dadaab Camp? Among other things, the environment around this camp has been in a total mess. The decision to have people in Dadaab for whatever reason was not correct, in environmental thinking."

They should not only provide for tents. Energy is a very important component that they should provide. Otherwise, they will be forced to look for firewood. In the process, they will destroy the environment. That has led to the destruction of Dadaab. We must persuade them to help in reconstruction and rehabilitation of this delicate ecosystem around Dadaab."

They are our neighbours. It is the high time we stopped engaging them with suspicion. We do not want to witness a similar situation like what is happening in the Middle East. Let us live peacefully with our neighbours. Let us create peace with ourselves. That is why I support the Member who said this Government must learn very quickly to respect its own citizens. This Government is fighting its own people. Let us refrain from destroying people’s houses. Let us not evict IDPs because we think they have settled where they are not supposed to be. That is war in itself; war with your own people. Do not encourage the killing of Mungiki adherents without trial. Let them be tried. Let them say their problem. They have a similar background with Al Shabaab ."
