    "content": "Lastly on the issue of marijuana. Marijuana is not just a problem in Isiolo or Mandera, but also in Migori. Most of the marijuana comes to Kenya through Tanzania, where it is grown in large rural parcels of land. We, in Migori, would also like to know how the Government is dealing with the porosity in the borders. The borders are porous. Some criminal boda boda people and other traffickers who come to Kenya are known, but no action is being taken, as Sen. Dullo has said. Large vehicles are transporting these items and they are not being searched or stopped. The same is happening to Migori and the marijuana that is consumed in the neighbouring counties of Kisii, Narok and Nairobi come from such far-flung areas. In response to the issue that has been brought up by my very good sister, we would also want to know what is being done to ensure that the porosity of the border in Migori in terms of illicit trafficking of items such as drugs, which is a very serious criminal offence, is being handled. We do not want to see our children and other people becoming addicts and be of no value to us as a society."
