    "content": "It is the responsibility of the Government to protect lives and property. I do not come from Laikipia but I have been watching the news very keenly. It saddens me to see the loss of lives and property. The cyclic occurrence of this conflict in Laikipia is similar to what has been happening in many parts of Kenya, particularly in the pastoralist community. Every time there is this kind of issue, people must realise that there must be some form of injustice. From what I have gathered on my own, there is the issue of historical land injustices. The Government of Kenya has the responsibility to address that issue head on. Even those ranchers, whether they are white settlers, other Kenyans or absentee landlords, they will not enjoy living there if there are people who are not happy. The Government must address that issue head on. The Government of Kenya has very many specialised forces. Sometimes we see them wasting their time on non-issues. For example, recently in this city and in Mombasa, there have been abductions of people in the city centre leaving families in suspense. Those security personnel should have been deployed earlier and should have used proper intelligence. I feel that the intelligence agencies have failed this country. We should have been able to know the conflicts which are coming up, prevent them and make sure that they do not occur.
