    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me also take this opportunity to thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, Hon. Mwathi for a good Report. Indeed, the border between Uriri and Nyatike at the Gogo area have had wars. This is because the owners of land in dispute are deceased. So I think it is just an issue of who is claiming what. I think the recommendation by the Committee or probably as leadership from that area will need to come together. This is uniquely between me and the people of Nyatike. We need to sit with the community and do sensitisation barazas so that there is really no issue. Hon. Speaker, the accessibility to this particular spot is the biggest issue. Even if today a war broke out in the unfortunate situation that we have a war there, even the security will have a problem accessing the area. I just wanted to ask the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security that within the security docket, there is a budget for security roads. There is a stalled bridge at the Gogo which had begun and this will make the place accessible both from the Nyatike and the Uriri sides. In terms of the issue of border disputes, I also want to confirm that the people from Uriri and Nyatike are related and, indeed, the Member for Nyatike is my uncle. Despite the fact that culturally, he should have given me a goat, he has never. I still regard him as my uncle nevertheless in the hope that he can begin by coming with a delegation from Nyatike to bring a goat to Uriri. That will be the beginning of peace between the two communities. I want to urge the Committee to help us get police vehicles both in Nyatike and Uriri constituencies. Once the bridge is complete, it will be possible to access the two areas. Finally, I want to challenge my colleague from Nyatike that we can jointly visit that site, identify a place where we can do a police station and within his and my provisions in the NG- CDF, we can put aside some little money to begin to put up an administrative unit there even as we seek more support from the Ministry. I thank you for the opportunity."
