    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make a few comments. I hope that the Chairperson is listening and taking notes. Laikipia is almost becoming a field of war. I urge the Committee that as they look at the Petition, they should also look at other communities which have the right to stay in Laikipia in accordance with the Constitution which allows everybody to live anywhere in the country. Many times, the Pokot community has been on the receiving end. Members of the Pokot community who live there are also Kenyans. The only sin they have committed is that they do not have representation in Laikipia. I urge the Committee that as they look at the Petition, they should do so from the global perspective of maintaining peace and that every community is allowed to live anywhere. The members of that community who live there are not necessarily criminals. They are a community. Let us not criminalise an entire community. A criminal is a criminal. I urge the Committee to see that that community is also part of the Republic of Kenya."
