    "content": "We cannot beg Uganda for our own safety. Uganda is disturbing the Karamojong, Turkana at Suam, Mt. Elgon, Busia and Migingo. How can one small country be disturbing Kenya all over as if we do not have a Defence Force? This House cannot continue discussing the issue of Migingo Island. In my view, the issue of people from that region getting armed to protect themselves is neither here nor there. The Government has a duty to protect the people because we are citizens who have obligations and rights which include protection from aggressors across the border. This House must give the KDF money in the Budget to set up military bases in Suam, Mount Elgon and a Navy Base in Migingo. That will be the only way to deal with Ugandans. We must give them money in this Budget to do that. We must be practical. This House must require that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs threatens diplomatic showdown with Uganda if they continue harassing Kenyans. We cannot beg Uganda anymore. This House must limit any contact between the President of Kenya and the President of Uganda because it can easily be declared a hostile state to the Republic of Kenya. We should not be discussing such a straightforward matter provided for in the Constitution in this House. If the KDF has failed to ensure territorial integrity, then it is the Commander-in-Chief of the KDF who has failed. If he fails to fulfill his duties in accordance with the Constitution, he should be prepared to be impeached. The President should ensure the security of our country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
