    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the sentiments expressed by Sen. Orengo and the other speakers on this matter. When we talk of sovereignty, we talk of a country being able to secure and protect its territory and citizens. It is pitiful that the people of Migingo Island are living under the fear of Ugandans. I think the Committee investigating this matter should come out clearly and state whether we have the kind of force we expect. If the policemen were arrested, then where is the security and safety of wananchi in Migingo Island? There is no question that MigingoIsland is an important part of Kenya. Any part of Kenya is an important part of Kenya and any Kenyan living anywhere needs protection. Sen.Wetangula has just told us how they spent money doing an international survey. Of what use was it? I thought it was supposed to be a mediation matter; that once the survey is finished, then the Ugandans should respect that decision. This is an indication of many things to come. This means that people from any country can walk into Kenya and do what they wish to do. We have Somalia on the other side; they walk in, do what they wish to do and they go back. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir."
