    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to comment on the Statement that Sen. Mwaruma has brought to the Floor of this House concerning boundary disputes. The issue of boundary disputes needs to be resolved amicably. I say this because of the future generations. You will find that in a situation where there are boundary disputes, many times it affects economic and social activities. Children in disputed areas end up marrying each other. We also have economic activities taking place in such areas, so there is need for an atmosphere that is conducive for human settlement and interaction. Madam Deputy Speaker, this issue should not be only in Sen. Mwaruma’s case. It should cut across other boundary disputes. In some areas like Maseno, you will find that Luos and Luhya mix and intermarry. If there is any dispute, it should be resolved in a friendly way that will ensure that these communities coexist and continue living harmoniously. You will also find disputes among the Kalenjin and the Luhyas. Sometimes they can arise due to boundaries, but then it should be resolved in a manner that will ensure that we are living peacefully as Kenyans. We are one people, one country, and we must ensure that we are passing this message to our future generations. Thank you."
