    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that there is a dispute between the Pokot and Turkana communities living on the boundaries of Lorogon and Kapedo. (b) The Provincial Security and Intelligence Committee, the District Security Intelligence Committee, the Provincial Surveyor, the local leaders and elders from the two districts held a joint meeting on 26th and 27th April, 2007, in Nakuru to resolve the boundary dispute. It was recommended that surveyors from the Ministry of Lands headquarters should be sent to the ground to determine the accurate boundary and put beacons on the ground. The dispute will be settled once the surveyors complete their work. (c) There was no boundary review committee launched by the Government in 2002. However, there was an elders committee from both Pokot and Turkana districts to resolve the boundary dispute in 2003. The Government has been implementing the committee's recommendations as follows:- (i) Carrying out capacity building and conflict resolution seminars among the affected communities through community-based organisations and international Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). (ii) Initiating dialogue between the communities to enhance peaceful co-existence. (iii) Deploying more security officers to protect people's lives and property."
