    "content": "by Somali aliens which has erroded Kenya’s credibility and international confidence in its passports, refugee influx, environmental degradation, terrorism and upsurge in religion extremism. Faced with these challenges, Kenya has had no option but to act unilaterally at times whenever the international community has been dithering. It is in Kenya’s interests that Somalia has a credible effective and democratic government. This is the basis upon which we can enjoy strong bilateral relations with Somalia. Kenya, therefore, fully supports the elected President of Somalia and the new administration. We look forward to strengthening our co-operation through immediate exchange of high-level official visits; formation of a joint commission of co-operation; inviting the participation of Somalia in the affairs of the East African Community, IGAD and other regional bodies; the signing of non-aggression pacts and the formation of a joint board of commission to demarcate and deposit the agreed border markings with the United Nations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenya remains ready to assist the new Somalia administration in establishing and strengthening civilian public institutions and systems for police, health, education and judicial services. We are ready to work with the new Somalia administration in establishing a programme for the return and resettlement of Somalia refugees, returnees and repatriation of legal Somalia aliens from Kenya back to Somalia. The Government of Kenya will work closely with the new administration in Somalia to fight extremism and terrorism. Somalia must not become a breeding ground for extremists or terrorist groups like Al Shabaab, Isbul-Islam and Al Qaeda . Appropriate bilateral mechanisms for intelligence sharing, joint operations and anti-terrorism laws need to be put in place."
