    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your indulgence. This Petition by Hon. Akujah, who is my very good friend, raises very fundamental issues. I would like the Public Petitions Committee, when dealing with this matter, to look broader and not just focus on the issue of Turkana being court-martialed in Uganda. It is a fact, Uganda is a friendly neighbouring country to Kenya and the two countries are like siamese twins. We cannot do without each other. I would like to see inculcation of brotherliness and friendly approach when it comes to dealing with issues that would arise from time to time. The boundaries that we have in this region and, indeed, in the entire Africa were created artificially by the colonialists. When you go to border counties like Turkana, Busia, Migori and Marsabit, there are people who belong to one identity who live across borders. Therefore, regional countries should be more humane when dealing with persons from neighbouring countries who encroach into their territories. My brothers from Kuria will tell The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
