    "content": "In the Statement the Committee should - (1)Explain why Kenya is surrendering its sovereignty on Migingo Island to Uganda, against clear constitutional provisions. (2)Explain why the outcome of the joint survey of the Kenya-Uganda boundary that was set up by President Kibaki and President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, which cost the Kenyans taxpayers over KShs490 million, has never been made public. I own up that I and Sen. Orengo were participants in the Committee that looked at this issue. (3) Confirm the said joint survey together with all existing colonial and post-colonial boundary data clearly established that Migingo Island is part of the Kenyan territory. (4)Explain why Uganda Police and Lake Marines on Lake Victoria from Uganda travel over 200 kilometres from Entebbe to terrorise Kenyan fishermen on Migingo Island, which is situated less than three kilometres from the Kenyan lake shoreline, while the Kenyan security forces remain helpless. (5)Assuming that there is going to be a joint administration; explain whether this has been subject to public participation and approval by Houses of Parliament. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I finish, it is high treason to surrender even an inch of our territory to any other sovereign. This is a very serious matter that needs very serious attention by this House."
