    "content": " Thank you for this opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have seen the response. I have been given a copy. However, there are two pertinent issues that have risen. I need your guidance on how to seek further clarification. On the first part of the response, there is a very telling statement. I want to reread it if you will allow me. It reads: “The fisheries resources in Lake Victoria are common property of the citizens of the East African Community.” That is a story telling to the birds. The truth of the matter is that the Ugandan side does not allow a Kenyan fisherman to cross the imaginary border. We call it “imaginary border” because, as they say, the lake is a shared resource. The Ugandans have made it practically impossible. Of course, I will need your guidance on how to pursue that aspect. It has a lot of emerging issues as a result of this Statement. We would, probably, be able to communicate if we got further clarification. We would know how to take self-defence measures in the event of the constant and unprovoked attacks from the Ugandan security forces. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
