    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need a robust foreign policy and engagement regarding this matter. This matter cannot be wished away. That brings me to the question of creating a buffer zone. In Ethiopia, for instance, they created a buffer zone between their border and the Somali territory and created a situation of stability around there. I think the Government must be aggressive and persuasive enough to see how best the Kenyan security can be secured by creating a buffer zone right inside Somalia managed by the Somalis. They should be assisted inside. That was the idea of training them here. Perhaps that could be reinforced. I would be very happy if the Minister could consider this. If we do not do not do this, then there is a mismatch of strategy. In Ethiopia, they did it and in Djibouti, they did it. Uganda has no immediate border with Somalia. Why is it that for us, we are wishing this off, instead of engaging in a very aggressive way by creating this buffer zone? If we do not do it, we will continue to suffer. Now we know the challenge of terrorism. We know the challenge of young people who have taken up arms and who are very dangerous, living in discrimination. Therefore, this must be confronted as soon as possible."
