"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the truth is that we have not been behaving or acting in an apologetic manner to our neighbours, Uganda. We try to maintain a relationship which is friendly. Where we have outstanding issues we always try to make sure that we raise these issues using quiet diplomacy. To be honest to my colleagues here, the Ugandan Government has always become very active and proactive when it comes to issues pertaining to Kenya. That does not mean that when issues come up at the border, say, our fishermen being arrested, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Government of Kenya have always made sure that we engage, negotiate and discuss issues which are outstanding. We promise to make sure that we convince the Ugandan Government that since we are opening our borders because of the East African Community, we need to be much friendlier with each other, so that we do not have any outstanding issues."
