    "content": "The next day was a market day and even people from Samburu County went to the market in Tiaty Constituency. From there, the Pokot also said their people were killed and even them they would revenge. That is the genesis of the Laikipia conflict that has got us to where we are now. It is important we put the facts on the table. It went on and on. The Government apparatus also has a way of inciting communities against each other. When you see the Samburu leaders speaking, and I am one of them; or the Pokot, Kikuyu or anybody else, it is because they have to lay the facts on the table. I want to do one or two things for pastoralists in Laikipia and across the country. There are three misconceptions that exist. One is that pastoralists are not supposed to live in Laikipia or that they do not own land in Laikipia. As was mentioned, there was a man who was walking with his title deed. When did it come to a point where we walk with title deeds on our land the same way we used to walk around with our Kipande during colonial times? When the police were shown the title deed, they tore it and killed 36 cows belonging to that old man. So, those are the things that anger people and we have to put them on the table. We should sit down as leaders and also speak to our young men that it is wrong for them to go and invade The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
