We need to address the issue of insecurity at our borders with neighbouring countries. We are experiencing disputes at the border with South Sudan, Uganda and Ethiopia. Where I come from we are pastoralists. We move all over looking for grass and water. We are, therefore, faced with important security concerns.

These boundary disputes are a matter---"
