    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I seek to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding border conflicts in Otati area along Migori and Homa Bay counties, and along the borders of Nyatike and Uriri constituencies within Migori County. There have been persistent fights and conflicts between the residents living in Otati area and those along the borders of Migori and Homa Bay counties. The latest conflict was on Friday, 8th January 2021, and tension has continued to date, which has greatly affected the market days in Otati area and has led to loss of livelihoods. Further, there have been conflicts in the recent past around the border of Uriri and Nyatike constituencies at Thimlich area. It is against this backdrop that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: (1) What are the causes of increased inter-county border conflicts in Otati area along Migori and Homa Bay counties? (2) What measures has the Ministry undertaken to clearly demarcate the Migori County boundary at Otati Sub-location? (3) Could the Ministry consider having a police post at Thimlich area and what plans has the Ministry put in place for long-term and sustainable peace in the area? Hon. Speaker, allow me to clarify one thing. Hon. Mbadi is a beneficiary of Nyatike land and that is why he is very serious. He is a land grabber."
