    "content": "them to act. How I wish the General Election of 2012 could come quickly, so that we can find somebody who can command these young people to move into action, so that we can restore the pride of the Republic of Kenya! The Ugandan Police, after the just ended international seminar that was there, was beefed up with marines and sub-marines. They have formed a special squad called the Uganda Police Marine. Those marines roam in Lake Victoria waters and, in fact, only recently, they arrested 400 fishermen belonging to the Luo and Luhyia communities. May Museveni be informed that it is not only the Luos who fish. The Luhyias also fish. You might see hon. Namwamba being thin, but Wanjala was a real fisherman. You could see his muscles when he was a Member of this House. That is all happening. A mere police marine harassing our people when we have a properly trained Kenya Navy that could make minced meat out of that marine squad! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President of the Republic of Uganda, as I have said above, has had the audacity to insult the Luo community at a function in Dar- es- Salaam and the President of Kenya finds nothing absolutely wrong with it. In fact, I am hoping that by midday today, we are going to hear a special communication from Mr. Mutua, who likes commenting on anything that is not serious. This one is now serious and we want to hear him now speak as the Government spokesman and address the issue of Migingo today on behalf of the President, if the President will not have found his breadth. Some Ugandans and, indeed, even some Ministers, might mock Members of the Back Bench and, indeed, even the youth in Kibera who were expressing their anger. Go ahead and mock us, but even if you mock us that Migingo is merely an acre of land, yes, it is, but still, it is ours! Even if Migingo is a mere rock, yes, it is a rock, but it is ours. Even if nothing can grow on Migingo, it has our sweet fish and, indeed, it is ours. Today, even if we go to war with Uganda over Migingo and some people think that it is laughable, we will be going to war, wasting millions of shillings because Migingo is ours."
