    "content": "Little did he know that he will come and sit in the Senate and little did I know that I will come and answer questions before the Senate. For me, this is how the world is a roundabout. I apologise for the very many unkind remarks I made against the Senate when I was in the National Assembly. First, I can only speak for Pokots who are Kenyans. Secondly, I agree with you and thank the County Government and the leadership of Turkana. We now have bases in Turkana County, which we are going to build, including our air force in Lodwar town. All these are geared to make sure that our people and our country is safe from any incursion from our neighbours. We have very good diplomatic relations with Uganda, Ethiopia and Southern Sudan. These are governments that we deal with everyday to solve any issues concerning our people. However, on the insecurity and cattle rusting, we have agreed with UPDF that they will deal with banditry on their side and on our side. That is why I am saying that bandits have nowhere to hide. They cannot cross whether they are Turkanas. I do not want to brand any community as criminals. Criminals are just criminals. They have no place to hide even across the borders in Sudan and Ethiopia. We are talking to those governments and colleagues. I assure you that there will be bases in all those three borders. Already, we have the one in Southern Sudan. We are going to increase them. We have even brought the Airforce to Lodwar Airport. That is why we are moving from the central area of Kenya and go to the borders to safeguard our people, including the great people of Turkana."
