    "content": "with all our neighbouring countries, including replacing broken and dilapidated boundary beckons. The Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, jointly with the Ministry of State for Defence, have been tasked to work out the modalities of deploying joint security forces, including the military, closer to our borders. Specific instructions have been given to the Ministry of State for Defence to ensure our countryâs territorial integrity and safety from external aggression in all places, including Migingo and Ugingo islands. As we speak, the Government has beefed up security along the Kenya/ Ethiopia border at Todonyangâ. We have relocated the General Service Unit (GSU) and Administration Police (AP) camps at Todonyangâ to the actual border point, 14 kilometers away, to counter any planned attacks between the two communities. The Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons will also move in and set up the border control at the actual border point to strengthen the border surveillance and control. In addition, the Government has vetted responsible and respected Turkana men, who will immediately start working with the Kenya Police Reserve (KPR) along the border. As we do this, we are also preparing to meet our Ethiopian counterparts to seek a joint and lasting solution to this border menace. In this regard, a joint Ministerial consultative meeting has been fixed to take place in Addis Ababa between 31st May and 2nd June 2011. Before our Ministers travel to Addis Ababa, we will hold a joint Kenya/Ethiopia border commissionersâ meeting here in Kenya on 25th and 26th of May, that is next week, to discuss matters of mutual interest. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we embark on these measures, we are taking steps to address the other urgent needs of the residents of Turkana other than security. The Ministry of State for Special Programmes has been providing food to the people here on a monthly basis. So far, the Ministry has distributed at least 100 bags of rice, 100 cartons of vegetable oil and 100 bags of beans in the last two weeks. The Government will scale up food distribution in this area in the next two months to ensure nobody dies of hunger and to reduce the need by the local population to cross into Ethiopia in search for food. For many years the Turkana region has been subjected to marginalization and neglect. This, indeed, was part of what was known as the Northern Frontier District in the colonial days. I firmly believe that we owe it to the people of Turkana County to dedicate our time and resources specifically to enhance their social and economic well being. With security restored here, the Government intends to embark on a massive economic empowerment of this region, beginning by providing a reliable and constant source of water and food. We intend to replicate in the Omo Delta what we achieved at the Tana Delta, Bura and Hola through a massive irrigated agriculture. In fact, the Government has already initiated a major programme for the development of the Turkana region. For example, the Government is currently expanding a number of irrigation schemes in Turkana East and South, which in total covers 5,800 acres. When these schemes are completed, 145,000 bags of maize will be harvested annually. In addition, since January 2011 the Government has released Kshs27 million to Turkana County for drought mitigation measures. If the drought persists for a further six months, the Government shall spend another Kshs130 million by June of this year. With food and security in place, the Turkana County will take its place in the development of our nation and the whole country will be uplifted. This Government has pooled many"
