    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start by responding to what Dr. Nuh asked. There was a peace accord which was signed between the two clans. One of them did not honour it. What are we doing as a Government? We are putting them together so that they can agree and live peacefully amongst themselves. With regard to the other issue raised by Mr. Kapondi, I would like to say that any time there is a problem within an area, there must be a cause. So, you have to go to the root cause of the problem so that we have a lasting solution to problems facing those clans. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a Government, we have also agreed that we are going to drill a borehole so that the issue of boreholes should not bring any conflict at all. The security personnel will still be within the site. Why? Because our international borders are porous. We must maintain the security forces but we have agreed that they will not actually be operating among the clans but their presence will be felt. Why? In order for us to avoid the militia coming across from Somalia and Ethiopia. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other issue is that of the beating of the so-called innocent people. I have constituted a committee to investigate, elaborate and give us a report on who was beaten, fought and injured by the militia so that if indeed it is true that people were beaten from their homes, the law is there and we will take them to court"
