    "content": "Take the case of Migingo Island. It is a sorry state of affairs, Hon. Speaker. On a daily basis, Kenyans are terrorised by Ugandan security agents. In fact, many a times they are subjected to inhuman treatment. As we speak, the Government of Uganda has hoisted its flag on Migingo Island. I am sure, Hon. Speaker, you know the history of this island and the controversy around it having been a Minister for Foreign Affairs in the distinguished Government of President Mwai Kibaki. We must bring an end to this situation. It is unbelievable that tens of our brothers from the Turkana Nation can be court-martialed. From my little understanding of court martial, it is only applied on military officers. Civilians are not supposed to be court-martialed. There is no evidence that those Turkana are military people. They are basically citizens of Kenya going about grazing their livestock. The Petition by Hon. Akujah needs to be treated with utmost urgency so that we get to understand really what needs to be done to address the plight of our citizens who are suffering in the hands of our friendly and sister neighbours. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
