"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only issue we have, on a serious note, as my brother, hon. Duale just said, the Somali question is one that cannot go away and it is one that will not go away. We found it marginalized; we found massacres in the name of the Somali question; we have seen what they call the â Shifta approachâ and now we are finding a pseudo-system of trying to suppress that area as if it does not belong to Kenya. We agree that there is a porous border in that region. We make so much noise about a small island Migingo - which I still think is our right - but when it comes to the whole area where there are thousands upon thousands of square kilometers of the northern Kenya, it means little to anybody. Either the Kenyan Government has to decide that, yes, we have a porous border because we are neighboring a friendly country; a country whose fortunes or misfortunes are linked to ours or we should delink totally and put up a very secure Israeli-type border so that those who are on this side are Somalis of Kenyan origin. We should not use that excuse to label them non-Kenyans."
