    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. From the outset, I want to add my voice to this Motion. I particularly want to congratulate the Mover, Hon. Ruweida, Woman Representative for Lamu County. This is a very important Report. I come from a border point that has not been recognised. My border point is a long stretch along the Kenya-Somalia border. If you go to Garissa, Wajir and Mandera counties there is a very long border point that is closed for now. It is not manned or controlled. There is illegal trading at the border point. As a country, we lose a lot in terms of revenue and security issues. There are some crucial areas that need the Committee’s attention. I would like you to take note of my border point of Hulugho. It is just three kilometres away from Kolbio on the other side. If we open up that border point and set up a customs office, we will generate a lot of resources in terms of trade. Right now, there is a lot of illegal trade that goes on. We are losing in a big way. The other side gains a lot because they bring all sorts of stuff be it food, vehicle and anything else you can name. If that border point is opened, recognised by the Government and there is a customs office put in place, we will be able to generate a lot."
