"content": "meet with us. We were not very keen at that time, which is one of the occupational hazards I suffer these days. Sometimes I am even forced to avoid my very best friends at least for a while especially where, for example, an active security matter is pointing to the direction of their friends, supporters, et cetera. Therefore, I avoided my good friend, the Senate Majority Leader, whom I believe is doing a great job in profiling the position of the leadership of the Senate in this House. I am sure you will do much better than us who are trying to figure out what this office was all about at the beginning. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we avoided political engagement with political actors at that time because the evidence was leading us to stay neutral. Nonetheless, I am happy to report to you, the Senate Majority Leader through the Speaker, that we are in a good place now. I now want to honour the promise that I made. I will take the initiative to bring the teams from the Kericho and Kisumu side together. The House might want to know that the Sondu matter is not as complicated as some of the other issues we are handling. These are brothers, sisters and neighbours who understand each other. Therefore, with regard to the question of meeting political leaders for a permanent solution, we should be beginning that as soon as possible. Finally, on the request or the suggestion from the Leader of the Majority about the General Service Unit (GSU) Camp, he had already approached me informally outside the House. Also, my senior the Senator of Kisumu had requested the same as a sign of ensuring that there is stability in the area. We will make that camp at Sondu permanent and will increase its strength. We realized that is a matter where the presence of law enforcement can 99 per cent resolve the matter."
