    "content": "in regards to Article 188 to establish a commission to look into boundary issues. However, this matter was shelved because of some selfish interests by some people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a similar situation in Isiolo County. We have a dispute with Garissa, Wajir, Laikipia, Marsabit and Samburu counties. We have brought this to the attention of the Government year-in, year-out. Today, we are having a major operation in Isiolo County simply because of land dispute. A Committee of this House has managed to go on the ground but up to now, they have not brought a resolution. We are condemning what happened in Isiolo and Meru counties last week as far as the shooting of the police is concerned. However, in the 21st Century, there is a communal punishment that is going on in Isiolo County which is unacceptable. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if bandits have committed a certain offence, children or women should not be punished or animals rounded up and put in a corner. Something urgent needs to be done. This is unacceptable. It is violation of their rights. We have a good Constitution that provides the rights of Kenyans. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have many cases with regards to lands issues. I wish that the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources was here. Every time, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Lands is called to look at the issues that we raise with the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources, she does not appear. This clearly means that they do not want to resolve these issues. These matters of land are sensitive. We must summon the CS, Lands to this House so that we can have a Committee of the Whole House as quickly as possible to resolve all the land issues that we have. This is sensitive. People are crying to us and dying day-in, day-out because of disputes of inter-county boundaries. A solution must be found as quickly as possible, preferably before next Tuesday."
