    "content": "So, I am reluctant to support this Report because I do not see what we are going to realise out of it. We live with neighbours who are not friendly. They are aggressive and invade our country and then we want to start cooperating with them in defence matters. They will start learning our military hardware and software and understand us then they will be even more aggressive. I am opposing this Motion and asking the Committee first to do the right thing. Instead of wasting time sitting and debating on cooperation, - I see the Chairman is very alert - this Committee should tell this country when we are going to be sure that Migingo Island is in Kenya and that there is not going to be any more interference from Uganda. Unless you do that, do not expect any cooperation, or support, from the MP for Suba in this so called “cooperation”. It is not going to help me and my constituents until Kenyan territory is respected and protected. The Committee to do that is the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. Avoid these side shows, get the Kenya territory protected. That is the cardinal responsibility of this Committee; it should not start thinking about Rwanda and Uganda."
