    "content": "with the State to provide our youth with guns, the youth are untrained in gun handling. Among the disciplined forces, the gun rules are strict because they know the dangers of a gun. Sometimes I sympathise with what we go through. However, on the issuance of more guns, whether you sanitise it as MPR or whichever other name you give it, without proper guidelines and regulations on handling of guns, we will be creating more problems to our people. Unfortunately, we are now in the electioneering period where emotions are high. I want to suggest that the long term solution to the North Rift problem of the gun culture is a deliberate and sustained disarmament programme. Just like it was done in Uganda, it can also be done here. I was at Makerere University and I saw how President Museveni began removing guns from the pastoralists of Uganda and he succeeded. I am sure that with proper mechanisms, we can remove guns from our people instead of adding more guns to them. That is not the way to go."
