    "content": "As a Senator representing the lake region, Homa Bay County accounts for the greatest share of Kenya’s share of Lake Victoria. This is a story that we have been exposed to day in, day out. Today, it was Mageta and Hama islands. Every other day, you hear stories coming from Remba Island of how Kenyan fishermen are being harassed by Ugandan soldiers. Who should protect Kenyans from external aggression? It is clear in Article 42 of the Constitution that it is the military, but you will be surprised that there is no military in the area surrounding Lake Victoria. Probably with some token representation in Kisumu, there is no military presence and yet this is a border. This is a matter that we need to look at. Even as we think of military intervention and protection, we must be conscious of historical issues that have been there between Kenyans and Ugandans. The Abasuba; the community that I come from, is a mix of Ugandans and Kenyans who have lived together The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
