    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion by the Leader of the Minority Party. This Motion is so important to this country. National service should uphold the aspirations of the Kenya people and maintain the fundamental principles upon which the Kenya society is founded. It is the first and the most important social service for a Government to deliver to its people. The issue of Migingo, where both Uganda and Kenya are claiming their right to the island and it is strengthened by colonial maps... If you look at our history, you will note that we lost Mt. Kilimanjaro by a mere Queen Victoria giving out to somebody called Kaiser as a birthday gift. It is a high time we protected the island if we lost a mountain which had historical significance. The issue of Migingo brings out clearly interesting questions around citizenship and Africans in complete decolonisation. If Migingo is in the Kenyan territory, Uganda would have violated the principle of respect for territorial integrity provided for in Article 2 (4) of the United Nations Charter. Our brothers from the Maasai community have been having the territorial boundary issue where they are facing challenges when they graze in Kilimanjaro while it was meant for Kenya. Compared to other African countries, Kenya has a huge security and we have not seen the impact of that allocation. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion."
