    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Olekina is telling us that leaders should sit and discuss, while people are being shot, schools are torched and people have been displaced from where they live. Tomorrow, we are going to bury somebody. What are we discussing? We should allow the Government to do what it does best. I am not getting the message he is trying to drive home. The people of Laikipia are suffering while, Sen. Olekina, is lecturing us about climate change. Do you burn somebody’s home, kill or displace people because of climate change? I do not understand that. He is telling us that we should not arrest leaders. We are talking about bandits. We are talking about people who come to Laikipia and ask for places to graze. They are innocent Kenyans who are looking for pastures for their livestock. They were even allowed to proceed to Mt. Kenya. However, we cannot allow bandits to kill the people Laikipia, then tell the Government to sit down and discuss with those criminals. It cannot happen. Where on earth; can you discuss with criminals? I request the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations to deal with this matter. It is painful to listen to my colleague talking about sitting down to discuss the issue of security, when people are being killed, and lecturing us about climate change."
