    "content": "pirates. One, the information we have is that Kenya is more of a transit route of terrorists to Uganda. It is easier to understand why Uganda is a target. As we know, Uganda has her troops fighting against Al Shabaab in Somalia. Kenya, being a front line State, is not allowed to deploy her own troops in Somalia. However, Uganda being a country in the region but not a frontline State is allowed. The retaliation would be against Uganda rather than against Kenya. We have a responsibility, as a county, because the activities of pirates affect our national security and trade. So, because of the increased pirate activities in the Indian Ocean, most of the insurance companies have increased their premiums. Even the shipping rates have gone up because ships have to detour and it is a much longer circuitous route to reach our port here. Therefore, we have an obligation as a country to ensure that justice is done and that pirates who are arrested within the Indian Ocean waters can be tried in our courts. This includes around Seychelles. This is something we are doing because of our own national interest. We are not doing it to appease anybody else. We have an obligation to our people."
