    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You can hear the tone of that information was quite an aggression to our sovereign country, Kenya. We call upon the Commander-In-Chief to intervene as quickly as possible because our people are being harassed. As I said, the protection of citizens is the first responsibility of any government. Migingo Island is not a resort area. It is a fishing island where people hustle for their daily life. They have planned very well. They wait until the catch is made and these people intervene and take away the whole catch for the whole day. That really sets poverty to another level. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you can recall many of our army barracks in Nakuru, Laikipia and Mombasa are internal when the borders are left porous. That calls for a question. Do we take border protection seriously in this country? I join the voices of those who have called for an establishment of border protection. If the border protection Act needs to be reviewed, so be it, so that we can have our porous borders controlled and well managed. Lastly, I tend to think - because this thing has lingered here for a long time - that somebody somewhere is either sleeping on the job or is benefiting from this condition. I would like the NIS and all investigating arms of this Government to find out why foreign soldiers invade without being noticed and arrest without being arrested. To me, that reads volumes when The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
