    "content": " The hon. Member for Lari wanted to know the protection the Government is giving to the Kenyan youths so that they are not drafted into this activity of piracy. The Government is very much alert and it is aware that attempts have been made to recruit Kenyan youths into this negative activity but most of them have been nipped in the bud. The Government is also warning Kenyans that piracy is a very dangerous undertaking. In the end, it does not pay and, therefore, we have warned our youths to desist from any temptation to be drafted into this negative activity. If any Kenyan gets involved in this kind of activities, then he will be treated just like any other criminal who is involved in the negative activity of piracy. Mr. Cheruiyot was concerned about pirates being kept or hidden in Kenya. We are looking for pirates. So, if there is any hon. Member or Kenyan with information about any pirate being kept anywhere, we would be very glad to receive that information. Mr. Cheruiyot knows how we have been looking for one Mr. Kabuga for a very long time but we have not been able to find him in Kenya. So, if he has any information that he can volunteer about any pirate in the country, that information would be very welcome. Mr. Gabbow’s concerns were handled by the Chair but he was talking about Somalia and not Somali pirates. So, I do not need to dwell on that point. Ms. S. Abdalla suggested that piracy started with trawlers and that it has expanded. Therefore, the Government should stop licensing trawlers. I do not think that equipment is at fault. A trawler is equipment that is used. If that was the case, then we could say that robbery started with guns when they were licensed but even without guns, people were using other items."
