If I can add to what Mr. Kapondi has said, there was a peace accord and we know what brought the flare-up this year was a very trivial matter, namely allocation. A borehole was sunk where each constituency was claiming; Mandera East said that the borehole belonged to them and Mandera West said that it was within their boundary. Having been an hon. Member in the negotiating team for that region, we had asked the Ministry to send surveyors and a team to give an assurance to the public that, that borehole was either in Mandera East or Mandera West. It took them four months to experience what Mandera East, Mandera 3348 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 11, 2008 Central and Mandera West residents are experiencing today. This is a failure of the Ministry. Had they told the residents of Mandera East and Mandera West where that borehole belonged, we would not have lost so many lives; our chiefs would not have been beaten up or girls raped.
