    "content": "Therefore, we need to separate the two issues. When you talk about northern Kenya, you are not talking about Somalia. It is just like when you talk about Nyanza, you are not talking about Acholi. When you talk about Turkana, you are not talking about the Merile and so on. Those historical distinctions must be made. Therefore, any generalized aspersions, regardless of the intentions, will not be accepted. I want to say that even when there were belated attempts to put legislative framework in the late 1960s, early 1970s and in 1980s, that were hell-bent to deny the people of northern Kenya their rights have not worked. I urge the Government to operate within the Constitution and the existing legislative mechanisms. Let all of us unite in fighting against organized crime. It is in our interest and it does not matter who is the perpetrator. As a country, and in particular the leadership, if we reduce incidences of corruption, tribalism and negative ethnicity, I can proudly say here that we have the best security apparatus in the world. So, how we use them is what is going to determine the outcome. We are in a crisis right now. This crisis must be handled in the most professional manner, in the most institutionally allowed manner and in the most legal manner. That is the only way that we can protect our sovereignty and jealously guard the civil liberty of the people of Kenya and nub criminals using the available legislative mechanisms."
