    "content": "So my time begins now. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda for bringing this Statement. Many things have been said by my colleagues. Perhaps what my colleague would have thought of doing was to bring a substantive Motion because the issue of boundaries for counties is much bigger that the disputes that he is pointing to between Kisumu, Nandi and Kericho counties. During the previous session when we debated this matter, I remember there were Senators who spoke and alluded to the fact that some counties were becoming expansionists; eating into other people’s lands. Boundaries are there, yet disputes are in almost every county. I have a proposal to make because I am part of the leadership. Perhaps there is need to have an informal session for Senators to appraise ourselves on the matter of county boundaries and where they exist and take a position before the IEBC begins demarcation and alteration of county boundaries. That is important so that as Sen. Cheptumo has said, we do not elicit unnecessary emotions on the matter of boundaries. Lastly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to correct the wrong impression created that Kitui County has a boundary dispute with Garissa County. Kitui County does not share a boundary with Garissa County. We share a boundary with Tana River County and the conflict that Members are alluding to is not a conflict between communities. It is a conflict between some people who own animals and those who own some farms."
