    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion as amended by Hon. Millie Akoth. I think it is one of the best drafted Motions given the earlier debate that we had. We have resolved. We are not urging. The issue of Migingo is not a Luo affair. It is about the people of Kenya and the territorial integrity as recognised in the UN Charter, Article 2(4) that there will be respect to territorial integrity. I think what we have seen in the past is total aggression and disregard of that Charter. The Ugandan forces do not just send the police. They send military police who even arrest our own policemen. Not only that, they collect rent. They want to collect taxes. They want to actually hoist their flag. They have done that before. So, it is not a new issue. In 2008/2009, we even saw the two ministers from both sides having a sitting on the same and the flag was withdrawn. Even if they say the water is theirs, why would they not hoist the flag in the waters and not in Migingo? This is because Migingo is clearly in the Kenyan nation. This Motion takes me to what we were discussing earlier. I definitely disagree with the Chair of the Committee on Implementation that it is Members to actually follow up on implementation. I will read Standing Order No.209(2) on the Committee on Implementation, which states that: “The Committee shall scrutinise the resolutions of the House (including adopted committee reports), petitions and the undertakings given by the National Executive and examine- (a) whether or not such decisions and undertakings have been implemented and where implemented, the extent to which they have been implemented; and whether such implementation has taken place within the minimum time necessary.”"
