    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Members were also very concerned that it would be very expensive to do a wall all the way from the border. We were told that it is still in design stage. In some areas, they will use technology rather than do physical barriers. That aside, after the visit... I saw today the media was giving a wrong impression of what is happening. I want to be very clear and for the benefit of Hon. Members, we need to know what is being done on the ground. It is not just about the wall and the fence. If you look at your Report on page 30, it is very clear there are a lot of activities. I will be very particular if Members can go there. The infrastructure being implemented include: International borderline survey which means surveyors have been engaged to demarcate the border between the two countries; construction of the fence. This can be a wall, chain link or otherwise. There is going to be construction of all-weather patrol roads, anti-vehicular trench excavation, rehabilitation of airstrips and local access roads. Also, there are projects to benefit the community. There is going to be an undertaking of socio-economic activities that will enhance the living standards of the local community."
