    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that indulgence. Just to comment on the two Statements by Sen. Okenyuri about the border issues. We have the County Boundaries Bill, which I do not know how far it has gone. I think it will assist in resolving some of those issues. The governments of Kenya and Uganda enjoy a cordial working relationship. Perhaps the diplomatic corps, the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs and the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development should take a lead because we do not want to lose any part of this country; not even an inch. Therefore, we must protect our territories. We have had issues with Migingo Island. There were allegations that the Ugandan Police used to go there to collect taxes. Those are issues we can deal with diplomatically. Finally, regarding the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO), I agree with Sen. Nyamu that many young people do not have startup capital. Therefore, you will find individuals who are 75 years benefiting from AGPO using young people. That is why we always face challenges when we want to empower them. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
