    "content": "cherishes that particular concept is the enemy number one of democracy and the rule of law and also enemy number one of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is the issue of poverty eradication. Over the years, the Government implementers and policy planners have used perceived regional hatred to deny the people of Kenya their legitimate right of the national cake. To that extent, today, in my own constituency - I am not proud to say this - 87 per cent of my constituents rely on relief food. This is an issue we would have avoided if the Government put in place pragmatic, acceptable policy tailor-made to serve the interests of the region. I cannot say here today that if in the month of October the Government does provide relief food, my constituents will be up in arms. It is not something I can be proud of. So, even the youth who seek employment opportunities cannot be criminalized. The criminal elements are those who went to our villages under the guise of assisting the Transitional Government in Somalia and duped our kids. This must not be allowed. Our security operators must not legitimize this and they must accept that we have an internationally recognized border between Somalia and Kenya. Therefore, the element of homogeneity that exists between sections of the Kenyan citizens and Somalia citizens does not mean that there is no border. These are issues that must be addressed by the Government. A certain Minister attempted to answer on behalf of the Government, but there is one clear signal: Where are the relevant Ministers? This is a very important Motion. I was a bit reluctant to accept the response by my good brother. Of course, that does not mean that I doubt his competence. I have a lot of faith in him, but it shows you that there is some sort of disconnect. Where is the Government? Look at the Front Bench!"
