    "content": "For example, there are issues in Homa Bay County. You have not heard anyone asking Hon. Kaluma, with all due respect, and others what is happening there. That alone tells you that these areas and communities are unique. Therefore, there must be a unique solution to the problem. I operated in all these counties, when I was serving in the military. Up to now, we still talk about operational areas, military connected operations and police connected operations. We have never learnt lessons. We are doing the same thing and expecting same results. What is the underlying factor here? It is socio-economic factors over the years. If these things are addressed in these pastoral areas, insecurity will be reduced drastically. However, they are not addressed. The same thing happens in the counties in Northern Kenya. The socio- economic factors contribute to lawlessness. There is no presence of Government. We keep on requesting for administrative units, but people wonder why we need them. This is because this is a unique place which requires unique solutions. In fact, this Committee should have also recommended that when these areas ask for administrative units, please, give them in large numbers. We should reduce them in other places which do not require them, and then we give them."
