    "content": " Thank you for giving me an opportunity to submit on this subject matter. I thank my friend from Turkana East, Hon. Nicholas Nixon, for moving this very important Motion. I watched with horror as the Woman Representative of Turkana County was submitting on this subject matter while weeping. It is unfortunate that at this time and age, we are still in this state of insecurity as a country. My constituency borders West Pokot on one side and Turkana County on the other side. I want to speak about the side bordering Turkana County. We have to understand Turkana County in proper context. The size of Turkana County is 77,000 square kilometres. The size of Rwanda is 26,000 square kilometres, Burundi is 27,000 square kilometres, and Djibouti is 23,000 square kilometres. The three countries combined, cannot match the size of Turkana County. Turkana is the largest county in this country. It is 77,000 square kilometres. What does that mean? The Government of Kenya was elected to protect the lives and properties of our people. If this Government cannot protect the lives of the people of Turkana and their properties, then let us give Turkana County independence. Let them be a country of their own."
