    "content": "the possible causes of those clashes. In summary, one clan holds that the other has taken away their land. The other clan maintains that no such land was taken. That land dispute arises from the inconclusive manner in which the Ministry of Land demarcated the boundaries in those sections. In 1985, both a no-sign adjudication section occupied mainly by the Uasin Kishu Clan; and the Nkararo Adjudication Section, occupied mainly by the Siria Clan, were demarcated to be adjudication sections. Unfortunately, the boundary dividing those sections is not a natural feature; it is not a river, and neither is it a valley. It is a straight line which is to be determined by the Global Positioning system (GPS). A few years ago, under the leadership of Mr. Natembeya, the then Regional Commissioner of Rift Valley, a boundary was determined and apparently it was agreed that a road be built to mark the boundary. That road was constructed and is in place. Unfortunately, that road has created a new dispute. Persons disadvantaged by it say that the road has taken their land. The acreage in dispute is only about 30 acres. This seems to be the bone of contention. The Government and we, the leaders in Kilgoris and the county leadership in Narok, should explore a route to reconcile the two clans which we do. However, as we wait for this solution, the Government must find an end to the fighting and wanton destruction of property. We recommend that the Minister sends a permanent group of General Service Unit (GSU) and Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) officers to the site. The community and ourselves are prepared to give land and housing to those officers so that they can deal with the situation adequately. I, therefore, request for a Statement from the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Interior and National Administration to explain what he can promptly and urgently do to deal with the lawlessness in that area. I submit."
