    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Cabinet Secretary admitted that sugar and electronic goods are finding their way into the country. I find it difficult not to agree to the fact that we, as a country, are losing a lot of revenue because of the panya routes being used by smugglers. There are porous borders and that is true. We have no roads there. There is only one major road. I think the Government should consider reviewing whether it is necessary to continue closing the border. This, I will communicate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to insecurity as raised by Sen, Billow, as you may know, where my brother comes from and Somalia, it is just a stone throw away. So, if these people can find their way up to Nairobi, you can imagine how easy it is for them to find their way across that border and mingle with the local community. This matter will be addressed properly when the Government effects the Nyumba Kumi programme. The public should also help the Government in identifying people who are entering the country illegally. I think this issue should be resolved when that programme kicks off. I believe this issue will be resolved. With regard to the issue raised by Sen. (Dr.) Machage, I am really sorry that when KDF have sacrificed their lives and so many soldiers have been maimed or killed while The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
