    "content": "The Chairperson has said that it is notable that there is a dispute as far as the South Sudan-Kenya boundary is concerned. However, we have defined our territory excluding the Elemi Triangle. We have not taken any step to put our case before the AU. As for Ethiopia, there is a treaty. However, within the Omo Delta, Ethiopians have encroached. We initiated some boundary demarcation. However, when it reached River Omo, the whole exercise was put off. That means that the conflict as a result of resources is now in favour of Ethiopia because they still control those areas. For the Ugandan territory, we know of Migingo, but we need to clarify the border points of Uganda’s Government where pastoralists have conflicted. These pastoralists are Karamoja and Turkana. In Somalia, there is a legal dispute that has been addressed by our Attorney- General and a team of lawyers. What I want the Vice Chairperson to clarify is this; it seems there is lack of intention to initiate diplomatic negotiations, especially in the South Sudan border. South Sudan has already deposited the instruments and the deadline is 2018 and yet, up to now, we have not initiated anything. Unless we want to take Kenyans for a ride, this land called the Elemi Triangle will be lost to South Sudan."
