"content": "Thank you very much, hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to say that in the Statement that I laid on the Table of this House, on the issue of Mandera, I talked about local and foreign militia. I talked about us engaging the friendly Government of Ethiopia. The KDF are already in Mandera. The KDF have a base in Wajir. The KDF have a base in Garissa. The KDF under the banner of UNISOM are in the whole of southern Somalia. The Deputy President, who is also a Cabinet Secretary in the definition of the Constitution, said that KDF will deal with any foreign militia who crosses from Ethiopia or Somalia. By him saying that, he has not contravened the Constitution. Parliament is not a place where you walk with an iPad or video. You ought to know that documents in Parliament are admissible by the Chair. There is a procedure. We are here to respect the Constitution. In Mandera County, we have a whole brigade. In Mandera, Garissa and Wajir, the Eastern and Western command is based there. In the whole of that borderline in the side of Somalia, the KDF are there under the mandate of UNISOM."
