    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This issue is extremely important, especially for me, because in a few days’ time, on 6th of this month, we are burying a young man who was fishing in Migingo and was hacked to death by Ugandan soldiers. Mine is not theoretical, it is practical. It is something I would invite Members of Parliament to come and help in burying the dead so that we can drive the point home. Our people in Migingo are doing their business but they live with Ugandan army who dictate what to do, the food to eat and how to fish in the Lake. I appeal strongly to our Government to come to the aid of our people because they are dying. I salute our Leader of the Minority Party for bringing this very important Motion so that we can discuss it and ask our leaders to take action because it is necessary. I am aware that for a number of times, the issue has come to this honourable House, Members discussed, passed Motions, agreed on what was to be done and the matter ended there. Till when are we going to discuss without action? If there is an implementation committee, they should follow up and see that whatever is decided in this House is respected and gets implemented. I will be a happy man if this Motion solves this issue so that we can say we are part of Kenya. Kenya cannot just have its people being harassed and killed as we watch. Thank you."
