    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious matter. My heart goes out to Sen. (Eng.) Hargura for the losses and conflict in his county. We were in Parliament, I remember with Sen. Khaniri, Sen. Orengo, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri and other Senators here including the Senator for Embu when we lost our colleagues because of attempts at getting peace for the people of that county. I am sure those who read history remember with nostalgia, Dr. Bonaya Godana, Dr. Gulachi Galgalo, Mr. Titus Ngoyoni and the late husband to our colleague, Sen. Naomi Waqo. These conflicts are very serious and deadly. If you go to a place where conflicts of this kind take place, you will find women and children killed, maimed and raped because there is nobody paying attention. The whole community is rendered destitute. You will find houses burnt, animals stolen and a lot of suffering. In fact, when you visit such areas, you will think you are in Lebanon or in the Middle East. You will think that human beings are bestial in behavior. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what Sen. (Eng.) Hargura is raising is a very serious issue and requires attention. We had similar conflict between my former constituency of Rongo and South Mugirango Constituency. Women and children would camp in churches and our homes. We would not have resources to feed or take care of them. Similar conflicts continue going on between Migori County among the Abakuria Community and the Maasai Community of Narok County. This is a matter that requires serious attention. One of the areas where I noticed the shortcomings of Government is that it does not get justice for the victims. You have heard that young people such as university The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
