    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to say that the demarcation process is ongoing. We have a department, the Kenya International Boundaries Office (KIBO). Two weeks ago, they briefed me on the progress they are making. Normally, this is a collaborative effort between countries, and both must work in harmony and in tandem. It is an ongoing process. We have covered substantial parts of our boundaries but others remain. The area that the Member mentioned is one of those we are consulting so, that we work together with the Government of Uganda and the Government of Tanzania, when looking at boundaries in the Lake Victoria area. It is not easy. It is a very expensive exercise and I want to assure you that it is ongoing. However, we will continue with our diplomatic efforts to always mitigate and intervene in areas you have mentioned. When I referred to the wrong side of the law, I was not talking about the kind of situation we find ourselves in through fishing. I was talking about the wrong side of the law where some Kenyans are involved in either drug trafficking, human trafficking or similar offences. I really plead with Kenyans, especially those who want to go out of the country, to consult with the ministry so that we can advise them on hotspots in some areas. This is because some of them have landed in these difficult areas simply because they did not consult. Thank you."
