"content": "Lastly, the honourable colleague was asking what measures the Kenyan Government had taken to guarantee the safety of Kenyans who are trading on the waters of Lake Victoria. Since this issue has been very sensitive and it is a matter that we take seriously, we have designed a common work plan which is in place right now, to take care of the cross-border issues which are affecting our two countries. We have come up with a scenario where we want to create cross-border commissioners who are going to start holding meetings to address issues arising from these frequent skirmishes and frequent crimes which have been taking place. The key activities agreed upon are:- (i) to have joint patrols; (ii) formation of joint security forums between our two countries; (iii) we intend to hold regular border security meetings between our security officers in the two countries; (iv) we have come up with organizations to create beach management authorities which will be managing our people; (v) we are now moving to create organizational and cultural arrangements which will lead to cross-border engagement between our people so that we can reduce any animosity and antagonism which may exist; and, (vi) we have come up with strategies on how to start sensitizing our citizens, how and when they can fish in Lake Victoria and how to reduce crime within our waters."
