    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I inquired from the desk about Article 5 of the Constitution, which we do not speak about a lot, but we should. It states:- “Kenya consists of the territory and territorial waters comprising Kenya on the effective date and any additional territory and territorial waters as defined by an Act of Parliament. The effective date is 27th August, 2010. We appear not to have an Act of Parliament. Sen. Wetangula and his distinguished ‘nephew,’ Sen. Sakaja, are quick on these things and they can quickly draft this and include Migingo Island as part of our territorial waters so that we stop pussy-footing around this issue. The Ugandan authorities have no problem chasing away our Kenyan fishermen. However, when it comes to us, it paints a sad picture of why we fought for Independence, only for us to cede a rock. Whether it was a dot in the map of Kenya or not, it is a Kenyan rock, and our ‘bedroom.’ The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
