    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On 30th March 2021, the Member for Nyatike Constituency, Hon. Tom Mboya Odege, sought a Statement on the border conflicts in Otati and Thimlich areas of Nyatike Constituency. The Hon. Member particularly sought to be informed on the following: (i) The causes of increased inter-county border conflicts in Otati area along Migori and Homa Bay counties. (ii) The measures that the Ministry has undertaken to clearly demarcate the Migori County boundaries at Otati Sub-Location. (iii)Whether the Ministry could consider having a police post at Thimlich area and what plans the Ministry has put in place for long-term and sustainable peace in the area. Hon. Speaker, I beg to reply as follows. The inter-county border conflict at Otati is mainly caused by tax/cess collection disputes. Following the inception of devolution in 2013, both counties, namely, Homa Bay and Migori, started collecting cess and taxes from shop operators at the market. Some shop owners initially devised a method of avoiding paying market levies by The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
