    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, in response to the request for a Ministerial Statement by the hon. Member for Kacheliba, hon. Poghisio, we have considered the issues raised and the events going on along the border. I, therefore, have a brief statement to make. One is that, since the incident was reported on 29th June, 2007, when the Uganda People's Forces crossed into Kenya, there have not been any other reported incidences in the area. Information available is that other incidences took place outside the Kenyan territory. Immediately after the reported incident, our security forces, which are the Kenya Police, jointly with our military July 19, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2665 forces, intensified the patrols within the area. Arrangements have been made to hold security meetings between the Provincial Security and Intelligence Committee and their counterparts in Uganda in order to solve the problem. In that meeting, I expect the discussion will be on the recovery of livestock, compensation of livestock and how to ensure that there is permanent border security within that area. Other issues that arise thereto, are that we have held consultations with the Ministry of Provincial Administration and National Security to ensure that they pursue this issue further."
