    "content": "hope that this time round, if this matter is referred to the relevant Committee, it may require the relevant Ministries led by the CSs to appear in a Committee of the Whole. This is because this matter had been going on for far too long. Under the Grand Coalition Government and the Cabinet team that was essentially led by Sen. Wetangula and the late Minister Saitoti, we were just about to get there. In fact, we got colonial records, including old maps done by military officers who were deployed by the colonial army. Those maps were showing clearly that those three islands in Lake Victoria are in a territory called Kenya. Before 1901, they were already surveyed as being part of Kenya. In fact, it is when those marks appeared in a memorandum that we had earlier agreed on, that we said that we will rely on old records. As soon as those records came, Uganda shifted goals. I am afraid that Kenya is showing weakness in this matter. Whenever Committees want to deal with this matter, they dissipate and become diplomatic. Uganda is a friendly neigbouring country, and our trade requires that we have friendly relations. However, a friend should never go into your ‘bedroom.’"
