"content": " Hon. Speaker, the people of Busia, Kisumu, Homa Bay and Migori who live along Lake Victoria, which is a shared resource, have landed into problems as they go fishing. The boundary is not indicated and our people are arrested by the Ugandans, who keep on extorting them. If they do not have money, they end up being jailed in Uganda. Many of them are still there. However, little is done when we report these cases to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. People even go further to raise money to bail out those who have been jailed. The ministry has not intervened despite this being a shared resource. Our people cross into deeper waters to fish, yet the fish are bred in Kenyan waters, only for them to be arrested. What is the ministry doing to ensure that the boundary is clearly marked? They had already started demarcating the boundaries. Hon. Speaker, at that time, you were the Minister for Foreign Affairs. However, the process stalled somewhere. When are they going to prioritise the demarcation of the Kenya and Uganda boundary in Lake Victoria?"
