    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am an old Member of this House and I fully know that when a question or an issue is raised, it becomes the property of the House and it must be dealt with to the satisfaction of everybody, but the first shot goes to the hon. Member who raised it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said and I will say it again that we have had difficulties on our borders with Ethiopia and Sudan. These difficulties are not borne out of any official policy of our neighbours to make incursions on to our territory. A Ministerial team comprising of myself, Prof. Saitoti, Mr. Orengo, Mr. Kajwang and Mr. Munyes visited the border with southern Sudan. We have put a commission in place. We know that the communities that live across the border, being pastoralist communities with little presence of both Governments in terms of security provision, bear a lot of weapons. They keep on attacking each other. My colleague from the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security who sits in the security committee has, in fact, been directed by Cabinet to make sure that he creates a presence of detachment of our army in these regions so that our territorial integrity is protected and safeguarded but more importantly our nationals and their property are protected. This will be done. I am sure this now satisfies Mr. I. Ruto that in fact I have not answered this question without facts because I have the facts. I sit in the committee and I receive reports on security everyday."
