    "content": "The dispute has a history. I sit in the Committee on Implementation and we tried to look at what had been discussed before and what is actionable. When I read the report, one of the main things was that a joint technical committee was formed to look at the boundary issue and because their counterparts from the other side knew that if the technical team was allowed to do its work the outcome would definitely be that the Island will belong to Kenya, they pulled out on the pretext that they needed to go back to Kampala and consult their seniors. We need to appreciate the boundaries of all African countries as agreed by the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) when they met in 1964 in Cairo. They agreed that they would abide by the boundaries as at the time each state attained its independence. Looking at the Colonial Ordinance, the Kenya Colony and Protectorate Order of 1926, which delineates the boundary between us and the neighbouring country of Uganda, it is very clear. The boundary is not in dispute. It has not been in dispute. The dispute only arose around 2004. I am sorry to say that during the time of President Moi, despite the Luo community being in the Opposition, this kind of nonsense did not happen."
