    "content": "same time, understand the importance of retaining high integrity as you do your business, so that you do not get corrupted in the process. Major General Tumbo qualifies as an asset to Kenya and Somalia. He is going to be involved in all the processes of ensuring that the relationship between Somalia and Kenya is not only cordial, but also peaceful. It is very important for us, as Kenyans, to realise that we require a Somalia that is stable, peaceful and that feels part and parcel of this region. When I look at the qualifications of Major General (Rtd) Tumbo, I realise that he is a man who has the knowledge of the entire region. He has what it takes to start this particular Mission on a very right footing, so that those who shall come after him shall find a Mission that has been well-grounded on the principles that can bring peace, trade and harmony within the region. I agree with those who feel that we should have got a young person, but I would like to ask whether we should take people who are going to be killed because they do not understand the intricacies or the security challenges that are facing Somalia. No. We need to have somebody who understands what awaits him. I was very impressed when he said that he is ready to go. He is not going out of ignorance. He is going out of courage, knowing fully what awaits him. This is very important. I want to congratulate the President for having nominated Major General (Rtd) Lucas Tumbo to go and get the issues that are between us and Somalia well sorted out. With that, I support him wholly."
