    "content": "This Bill is also very clear on who should be Commissioners and Secretary to the Commission. It also states their terms and conditions of service. Extensively, this Bill covers a lot of ground in terms of how to mitigate conflict. It is my considered view that unless we handle some of these things prudently, then we can only continue crying. Sen. Pareno, the Sponsor of this Bill and I come from pastoralist areas. We normally have inter-clan or inter-village conflicts. While the rest of the country speaks about tyranny of numbers, people in pastoral areas kill each other to reduce their numbers further. You remember how the revenue share was being distributed before it was amended by this House. A good 76 per cent was based on population. Whether in terms of health, agriculture et cetera, it was somehow linked to population. Therefore, if pastoral communities continue with the bad manners of killing each other, we will perish because we will have no numbers to influence anything in terms of resources. We will have ourselves to blame. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
