"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, running away from the problem is not solving the problem. The reason these pastoralists are moving from one place to another is because of the drought situation. If the President of the Republic of Kenya can declare drought as a national disaster and order the National Treasury to release KShs2 billion to deal with this issue, why would the elected Senator from Laikipia see the problem? I request to be given my time because I was interrupted when I was speaking. I want to be categorical and say that the problem is that the Government is not doing what should be done to solve this problem. We have the NLC, which should be dealing with the issue as prescribed by Section 15 of the National Land Act. It spells out the rules and sets deadline on when this problem should be resolved. Therefore, this is not just the issue of people going crazy, gaga and taking guns and shooting people. These are people who are competing for pastures. Laikipia is where many pastoralists go to seek pasture. How do you explain having someone with 2,000 or 3,000 acres of land when the original inhabitants of that land do not have any land?"
