    "content": "I have seven habitable islands, but the three that are closest to Uganda and Tanzania are Remba, Ringiti and Mfangano. The reason I want to add them by name is that at some point, Rusinga Island was annexed to the mainland through the bridge that the President launched and it is no longer an island. While I was in Rusinga Island, I was informed that there were Ugandan forces in a beach called Litare within Rusinga Island. Fortunately, when I went there, the Kenyan police arrested the forces. Fortunately, on this instant, it turned out that it was Kenyan policemen masquerading as Ugandan officers and stealing from the fishermen. We arrested them but eventually we let them go. This just tells you how difficult our fishermen are operating because the Kenyan police know that there is nobody manning the lake. That is why I am also including the naval forces because the police alone cannot man this situation. Only last week on Wednesday, I was in Remba Island. I missed Parliament to attend a very high-level security meeting by the entire county security team led by the county commissioner. They included the entire county and sub-county security teams because of harassment of fishermen by the Ugandan forces. I want to read to you what is called the Busia Declaration just to tell you that we are no longer in Kenya. As the Abasuba Community, our origin is in the Kabaka Kingdom of Uganda. In fact, the Abasuba came from the kingdom itself. He was the brother to the king, fought the king and was banished to Kenya. I know my time is up, but with your indulgence, this is utterly important. Would I request that I be given a little more time just to read this declaration?"
