"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Imanyara talked about the contingent of AMISOM. Very rightly so, the contingent of AMISOM is 9,500 as at now. The requirement was that they should be 20,000, but now that the Al Shabaab have been expelled from Mogadishu – 98 per cent of Mogadishu is now in the hands of AMISOM – it has been found prudent that the second phase which was to liberate Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia should now start immediately. Therefore, there are 9,500 of Burundi and Ugandan troops in Mogadishu. These countries have also pledged to contribute a total of 4,000. They can also go to Mogadishu if they want. Djibouti has contributed 1,000 soldiers and we are persuading them to be brought to our side, plus the soldiers that we will contribute to AMISOM. With that we think that liberation of Somalia is in the pipeline right now."

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my brother, hon. Imanyara also raised the question of the cost element of this operation. This Motion intends that when the UN takes over the cost element and enabling, that is, giving soldiers arms, vehicles, salaries and everything, it will save the country a colossal amount of money. Hon. Mungatana raised the question of us, as members, being engaged in Somalia. We are very proud, as a country, to have managed to convince the UN Security Council that we, as neighbours, have originally refused to contribute soldiers because we were conscious of our neighbourhood with Somalia, but the situation has now changed. Therefore, it has been agreed in principle that any neighbour can contribute peacekeeping troops and that is why we are now going to be in Somalia."

There should be the sector of Mogadishu, another one neighbouring Ethiopia and a third sector which neighbours Kenya. Therefore, the control will be done by us, as the contributing country and this will take care of our interest."
