    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I disagree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s argument that merely the presence of people who are non-Kenyans in western contributed to insecurity. There are so many other Ugandans who are doing productive work in this country. Equally, the Uganda Government has allowed many Kenyans to work and do business in Uganda. I keep on saying that if somebody has committed a crime, follow that person; please, do not collectively banish and victimize an entire group of people. Just because a couple of Ugandans crosses the border to commit crimes in parts of Kenya, does not mean that we now disengage from the East African Community. That is what will contribute to that type of rationale. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to support this Motion. In fact, I wish Sen. Haji had integrated in his Motion a timeframe, so that it is done and done expeditiously. These people must be given the opportunity in life to be as competitive as us. I believe one day, their sons and daughters will participate in nation building and even become the President of this County. The more we procrastinate on this integration, the more we fail to give them hope in life. These people are capable of fending for themselves if they can be given opportunity to do so. They were pushed in their current situations by adversity of life. Many of us can be pushed to similar situations. So, let us secure Kenya by stabilizing Somalia. If Somalia stabilizes, it also has a direct impact on the security of Kenya as well as the political and, probably, economic development of this region. Madam Temporary Speaker, once again, I want to congratulate the Mover of this Motion. I am here to support this Motion and urge the Kenyan Government to forthwith start the integration and relocation process. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
