    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is an unfortunate Statement. It is an unfortunate state of things. Jomo Kenyatta, Tom Mboya, Dedan Kimathi and Paul Ngei must be turning in their graves. This country got Independence and we got our territory. However, matters of our territorial integrity are taken lightly. This matter came to our Committee, and when we tried to deal with it at that point, I remember such a casual demeanor of the CSs and PS who came before us. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have begun to lose and become the laughing stock of the region. Look at what is happening. We are about to become the first sea locked country in Africa because of our maritime dispute with Somalia. This issue was taken so lightly, but now we are going to hear a case that we know we will lose in the Court of Arbitration. Kenya will lose its waters in the Indian Ocean to Somalia because of oil and gas interests. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with regard to the Ilemi Triangle in the north, the Senator for Turkana knows what I am talking about. South Sudan has claimed it. If you look at the map of South Sudan, it has the Kenyan territory as part of its territory. What kind of Government allows people to play with us right, left and center? Migingo Island is in Kenya. 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."
