    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Five minutes is short for one to speak on instability in Turkana County and in Sondu. Allow me to dwell on Sondu because of the active nature of what is happening there. The youth politicians are the problem in Sondu. Before politicians go to Sondu, they have already formed an opinion. On social media, they are stating that the President should have made a statement. The President serves the People of this country through the Ministries. We have a Cabinet Secretary for Internal Security. It is only after he has failed that the President would look into it. Let us ask Hon. (Prof.) Kindiki Kithure to come to this House and be on top of things. I refuse to accept that when a Luo man sees a Kalenjin, he sees someone to kill. In 1993 Kennedy Kiliku who was an honourable Member of this House, led a commission that came up with the Kiliku report on the tribal clashes of 1992. He found that the clashes were because of land conflict, cattle rustling, political differences and water resource. The report ended there. Recommendations have been made and universities have made studies on how to solve it. The shameful bit of it is that the two factors that were not there in 1992 are at play in Sondu. The first one is a boundary conflict. People have started saying that the boundary between Kisumu and Kericho counties be altered. Their politicians are asking them to defend it. The result is death of people, fights and property being destroyed. The second one is a fight over revenue collection. My younger brother knows the story of Maseno. My other younger brother knows the story of Turbo. If people are going to be incited to fight over collection of resources, ask yourself, who is most likely to benefit if revenue is collected. The person to benefit is the Governor. The Governors of Kericho and Kisumu counties must stop going to public forums and telling people that revenue of Sondu should be collected by this side or that side, this in itself is incitement of our people. Any governor who makes this pronouncement---"
