    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. We live at the border and we suffer. For we who live along the lake, most of our islands were annexed to neighbouring countries. Nobody, not even the Government has resolved this matter. I have seen the former President and current President going to our neighbouring countries and talking to those Heads of States, but the issue of the people along the border has never been tackled. It is left at base and our people are being shot dead in the lake the same way the Turkana are being harassed on the other side. It is the same way the minority ethnic group of the Kuria are suffering on the other side. It is a problem living at the border. Kenya is a sovereign state. Kenya has an army. Kenya has been going out there and it is very well known for being a very good peacekeeper. Why have they left their boundaries without safeguarding their country? We have taken all the navy officers and put them in the Indian Ocean. We have left Lake Victoria to the Ugandan Army which has taken over islands. It has almost taken over Rusinga Island. Our people have no place. You know that Lake Victoria is a shared resource, but the Ugandans have denied Kenyans access to the lake to do fishing. This is something a country like Kenya must now prioritise. Kenya should safeguard her boundaries the same way Tanzanians have safeguarded their country."
