    "content": "I want to assure the House that Dr. William Ruto has said that his Government will put to an end abuse of law, lawlessness and insecurity across the country. You heard him say in Samburu that this is the Government that will put to an end the issue of cattle rustling and banditry. As we talk, the guns have gone silent in North Rift and we hope it remains that way. On the issue of disarmament and distribution of NPRs in Turkana County, we should not arm one community against another. When they are giving out the NPRs, they should ensure that they balance the interest so that they do not arm one community against another through the NPR. I hope that the Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Kithure Kindiki will look at principles of National Security under Article 238 which states that in performing their functions and exercising their powers, national security organs shall respect the diverse culture of communities within Kenya. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Prof. Kithure Kindiki used to sit there. He was the Deputy Speaker. They say real statesmen and leaders are made during times of crisis. I am a neighbour to Kisumu and Kericho counties, but what is happening in Sondu is unfortunate and we must investigate it. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said something, which we are saying “if”. If the clashes that are happening in Sondu are politically motivated, Prof. Kithure Kindiki must tell us. Is it a coincidence that when the President visits Luo Nyanza, there must be tribal clashes at Sondu? Possibly, yes because of political interest of trying to paint the President in bad light when he is touring Luo Nyanza. You saw that when he went to Luo Nyanza in July, tribal clashes happened spontaneously. Now that he is planning to travel tomorrow to Luo Nyanza, it has happened spontaneously."
