    "content": "hailed from Vihiga. When I look at the petitioners, 17 of them are Banyore and they want to get their identity. They neighbour Kisumu and Siaya counties, but have no sense of belonging. This House should ensure that it is resolved amicably. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, resolving this Petition will resolve a long-term issue. The residents of the three counties intermarry, they are friends and they have brought their children together. Therefore, there is need to resolve this conflict, so that they continue interacting amicably. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is very clear that the Luos and the Luhyas have many things in common in terms of socio-economic activities; trade, intermarrying etcetera. However, when it comes to ancestral and clan issues, there is no need of compromising. The Banyore should be taken back to Vihiga where they belong. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, other conflict areas that have been brought on the Floor of this House need to be resolved amicably, impartially and in a way in which we can be one Kenya, one nation. This is our country and we have nowhere else to go. We need to interact. We need each other. I want to suggest that the Committee where this Petition will directed expedite and ensure that they do justice to this Petition. We do not want to see Sen. Khaniri day in, day out, asking for justice for the people of Banyore to be taken to Vihiga County. I support this Petition."
