    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion with very solid reasons. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you read this Motion, you will find that it goes against what the Government initially told this Parliament. The Government told this Parliament that they were going to have a short mission. They said that they were going into Somalia in respect of hot pursuit, come back and we finish this mission. We have filed a Question asking how much money has been spent. That Question was never approved; it has never come to the Floor of the House for us to know the extent of this Government’s involvement in this war. I am speaking like this because right now, we have a lot of internal problems in the family and the soil called Kenya. We have doctors striking, we have just ended the problems with teachers but they are threatening on other things; we have a deluge of rain that will require that people be supplied with food, but from where? After that, we have to repair the infrastructure that has been washed away. We are talking about the same money; a shrinking economy, and here we are saying that we want to support the conversion of our initial mission in Somalia from a normal, temporary, self protection mission to an engagement under AMISOM."
