    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add my voice on the Statement by the good Senator from Busia County, Sen. Okiya Omtatah. The issue of excessive use of force by the police in the country is something that must stop because we lose way too many lives to recklessness by the police. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since most of the Senators have put their voice on this, there needs to be a long-term solution to what is happening in Angata Barikoi. The livelihood of the people in these areas has been affected for way too long. It would interest you to know that on the other side of Angata Barikoi is Gwitembe in the Kuria region that falls in Migori County. This is a community that is so good at contributing in the agricultural basket of this country, very hardworking and in very good environment that crops would be thriving. However, during rainy and non-rainy seasons, they cannot settle. The people of Kuria cannot settle and focus on agriculture. In fact, a number of times, we, leaders are forced to go and visit the communities during festive seasons, to at least have them also enjoy festive seasons. For instance, Christmas and New Year, since they have been going on for a whole year without planting because of the wars and insecurity as a result of the dispute of that land."
