    "content": "I do not want to go at length because I know that the issue of Migingo Island has a lot of interest. I urge this House to do only three things. During the last Parliament, a similar Motion was brought to this House and passed. I remember introducing an amendment to it. Let the Committee on Implementation take up the matter and let the matter be referred to the United Nations (UN). If the Government is not able to deal with it, we have another Government which is the UN. Let it deal with it as a threat to international peace and security. Secondly, this House needs to form a select committee to look into other ways to deal with issues such as Migingo and other islands that are under threat. I urge Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to go beyond today and come up with a select committee that will be looking at issues of security along the islands. Thirdly, I have a suggestion which I hope the select committee will pick up. Recently, the police have been speaking from different angles. I would not want to say that the Kenyan police are stupid because they are not. It is just that they are challenged when it comes to thinking. Because of the challenges in relation to their thinking, I urge that if it is true that they have declared that every governor’s gun be confiscated, let them hand over those guns to Migingo, so that our locals can defend themselves."
