Ali Raso","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will take less than two minutes to contribute to this very important Motion. This Agreement is profound. It is about addressing the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) that stretches 250 nautical miles outside our territorial waters. The future of resources on earth will be in the high seas. It is not just about an agreement. It is about how we are likely to exploit marine resources by not only using our resources, but also using resources of our partners. There will be exploitation of minerals such as oil and whatever else that will be found in the deep sea which will be highly beneficial to Kenya. This is also about the freedom of the sea. Major world operators of ships and major navies are likely to use our EEZ and they will cooperate with us to do that. There must be also cooperation in the Indian Ocean realm where we occupy a sizeable part of the horn of Africa coast line. Finally, it is said that the next frontier of conflict will be in the sea. After nations exploit exhaustively what is on their land, they will move to the high seas. For that reason, this Agreement is very important. Kenya must be prepared in terms of resources and military power to protect what rightfully belongs to this country. With those remarks, I support."},{"id":1618893,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1618893/?format=json","text_counter":320,"type":"heading","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":")"},{"id":1618894,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1618894/?format=json","text_counter":321,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Endebess, UDA","speaker_title":"Robert Pukose","speaker":null,"content":" On a point of order, Hon.

Lake Victoria is a shared resource that we have, but we have cases of many of our fishermen being arrested on the Ugandan side. There are also outstanding issues about the Migingo Island. We should have an agreement between Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and other nations that use Lake Victoria water. That is something that we will take up as a Committee with the relevant State department. I do not want to repeat myself. I beg to reply."}]}
