    "content": "Police Forces. They have been sharing information and intelligence. They have arrested suspected terrorists who flee to Tanzania after committing crimes in Kenya. We never hesitated to send them back to Kenya to face justice. Hon. Speakers, we also have robust and long-standing co-operation in the fight against narcotic drugs and cross-border crime. This way, we have been able to deal with criminal gangs operating in our two countries. Recently, we began to develop co-operation in fighting poaching and illegal trade in wildlife products. This co-operation has worked well for our two countries. What is required of us going forward is to strengthen and advance this co-operation. Let us make it clear to criminals that if they cause trouble in any of our countries, there will be nowhere to run to, and nowhere to hide. On the social economic front, there has been vibrant cooperation as well. Our two countries have been undertaking joint infrastructure projects. Take for example and I will mention a few because we have a number of them, the Athi River-Namanga-Arusha Road, which was completed in 2012. This was a joint project. Our two countries pitched for support together from the African Development Bank (ADB) and the Japanese Government. They gave money to our two countries and we implemented it as one project. Currently we are now doing the Mwatate-Taveta-Holili-Moshi- Arusha Road. As you know, my first function in my visit to Kenya this time round was in Taveta. We were together with President Uhuru Kenyatta as we inaugurated the construction of this road on the Kenyan side. We are working on a suitable date to do the same for the road on the Tanzanian side."
