    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a matter of tremendous, vital, national interest. Under our new Constitution, unlike the constitution of other countries, including Uganda, they describe their international boundaries and territory from beacon to beacon, hill to hill and river to river. In our Constitution, we simply said in Article 5 that our territory consists of territory and territorial waters comprising Kenya on the effective date and any additional territory and territorial waters as defined by an Act of Parliament. The last Act of Parliament is the Provinces and Districts Act of 1982. Today, we have a problem with South Sudan. The late hon. (Prof.) George Saitoti led a delegation, including me, Sen. Munyes, the late Kajwang and Sen. Haji to Turkana. The South Sudanese blocked us 30 kilometres away from the international boundary and told us that, that is where the border is. As I speak, the South Sudan-Kenya boundary is ten kilometres inside Kenya. We have Migingo Island and the Ethiopian problem."
