    "content": "saying that their local pastoralists do not know the boundaries between Kenya and Uganda, including the animals. Even if the Turkana committed a crime, they should be taken through the normal judicial system. They should have access to lawyers and present their case. If it is true that President Museveni gave conditions, then as Members of Parliament who represent Kenyans, we urge our President to take up this issue and discuss it with President Museveni so that we have the innocent Kenyans released. We cannot deny that there might be some criminals, but it is not right to court-martial almost 50 Kenyans in the name of carrying guns. The Members of Parliament from Turkana said that our borders with Ethiopia and Uganda are porous. Therefore, we need to address the security issue at the borders between Turkana County and its neighbours. We have left this matter to Members of Parliament from the Turkana community to fight for themselves, yet we have a functioning Government. We ask the Leader of the Majority Party to go back to the drawing board and raise the matter with the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs and also with the President to intervene for the Kenyans from Turkana who were court-martialed in Uganda to be released and returned to the country."
