    "content": "From Somalia, small arms are smuggled through the border into Kenya, and used to kill our people all the time. North eastern region has been unstable and insecure, mainly because of Somalia and not because of South Sudan. We need to have someone who can fix that problem. Major-General Lukas Tumbo has had a long career in the military. He has all the expertise. The Committee looked at his qualifications and work background, and chose the best person to represent us in Somalia. He held key positions from 1989 to 1990. He was the Assistant Chief Personnel Officer of the United Nations Assistance Group in Namibia. If this nominee who has been vetted by the Defence and Foreign Relations Committee is given the job, he will address key issues of insecurity, especially in terms of small arms which have caused havoc in this country. He has also said that he will address the issue of refugees. We have over a million refugees from Somalia in this country, which is a big burden to the taxpayer. It is a big burden to the people of north eastern Kenya. If these refugees are sent back home after stabilising Somalia, it will be a good thing."
