    "content": " I am responding to a point of order, and I can assure you, my learned friend, you will be here for many, many years. If I am responding to a point of order, you wait until I finish, then you can stand on another point of order, which I can respond to! Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the UN can come in, but at the tail end, we have regional remedies! I want to urge the House that this Parliament has a duty all the time to fight for peace, security and to ensure that Kenya is at peace and in harmony with her neighbours! Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Motion, well intentioned as it may be, does not, and will not, enhance this desired goal by the Government of the Republic of Kenya. This Parliament has a duty, more than any other Kenyan, to make sure that even where we have serious issues, we must restrain ourselves from exhibiting unhelpful emotions. We must be at the frontline of urging Kenyans, even the aggrieved ones, that they must embrace a process of peaceful resolution of issues. To this end, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Governments of Kenya and Uganda have already put in place a Joint Commission headed by the Director of Survey of Kenya and the Director of Survey of Uganda, overseen by committees led by the Deputy Prime Minister of Uganda and myself--- This is overseen by committees led by the Deputy Prime Minister of Uganda and myself with the hon. Members that I mentioned. The survey of the boundary between Kenya and Uganda is being done for the first time since Independence. By passing this Motion, we will literally engage a reverse gear on what we have already committed ourselves to do; namely, the survey to be carried out. Public resources have been committed by both Governments. The results will be acceptable to both Governments of Kenya and Uganda. I urge hon. Members to rise to the occasion and say that emotive or touchy as the Migingo issue may be--- I have said it before and I want to repeat it, that Kenya’s territorial integrity is not negotiable and will not be negotiated by anybody. That notwithstanding, we must embrace peace with our neighbours. This Motion is definitely not an embrace or an enhancement of peace with our neighbours."
