    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the first place, Kenya has never had any appetite really to enter Somali territory. It is as a result of the unprovoked disturbances that the AlShabaab militants were creating that at the spur of the moment, Kenya decided to push AlShabaab away from our border. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and I went to Djibouti, Somalia, Burundi, Uganda and Ethiopia to sell the idea that we want to come out of Somalia and it will, therefore, require the African troop contributing countries to contribute soldiers who can go and replace Kenya. This is because if Kenya had moved out, that would have given a lot of strength to Al Shabaab . They would have felt that the Kenyan forces had been expelled from Somalia. They would have been more popular and stronger in Somalia. Therefore, when we could not get more than 9,500 soldiers from the contributing countries, we decided to revert to the AMISOM so that we do not come out of Somalia right now."
