    "content": "Wanjala from Budalangi and I share the same unit based at Port Victoria. Whenever we are under attack and we call them, they say that they have no fuel, no tugboat or even gas and ammunition to confront the thugs from Uganda. As I speak here today, I have a constituent who was shot twice on the thighs within the waters of the lake in Funyula Constituency. We have followed up the matter. The Coast Guards and security systems keep telling us that there is nothing they can do because they have no facilities. They have no ammunition and they have nothing. We hope that the proposed amendments allowing them to hire officers from Kenya Forest Service and other paramilitary services, will allow them adequate facilities to enable them respond to the issues. Finally, if this amendment had come on its own under Cap. 109, I would have obviously been reluctant to approve the change of Moi Day to Utamaduni Day. Those of us who drank milk and who lived through the Nyayo era remember the patriotic songs and the grandiose that accompanied President Moi during occasions. We feel that the word “Moi” ought to have been left to stand. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I support."
