    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I only rise to respond to the Statement by the Member from Nyatike. He mentioned that there has been a bit of conflict between Uriri and Nyatike border. I want to confirm that in one of the areas where we share a boundary, around the Gogo Falls; there has been a consistent issue amongst a number of families there, on a piece of land that is in dispute. About a year ago, we had to deploy police officers there. They were there for about a week to try and maintain peace at the border point. The issue subsided for some time. Indeed, between Uriri and Nyatike, there has been an issue. However, whereas I welcome the Committee to try and investigate the issues there, I also want to challenge our neighbours, including my neighbour from Nyatike. I want to ask Hon. Tom Odege and myself, especially on the issue of the border between my constituency and Nyatike; that we find time and have a public meeting there to address the issues. When I go on my own, and he also goes on his own, the prevailing issues cannot be sorted out. I am confident that we can sit down and agree between ourselves. Hon. Speaker, the same would apply between the border of Nyatike and Suba South Constituency, where the party leader comes from. Whereas I know that there is no major centre in the chairman’s constituency – he uses Migori to get into his home area – I am confident that, as the leadership from that area, we can find time to sit down together at the place of the dispute. This is a small matter that can be addressed. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
