    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am part of the Government but I am just recommending that for the sake of the people of Mt. Elgon, we need to look into the best ways and means to solve the problem. If they want us to continue with the war, we will continue with it. There is no problem. But I am just saying that it is better for them. We should give them the opportunity even to repent. We cannot have an illegal armed defence force in a country. So, if you want us to continue, we can continue sorting you out. It is not a problem. But for the people of Mt. Elgon, it is important that we give them the opportunity to dialogue. I liked it April 23, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 645 when the Prime Minister said the other day: \"We want to talk to Mungiki people. We want to know who they are and what they want.\" This is important so that when we apply the law, nobody should cry. Even if your people are affected, you should not come here running, saying our people are affected. We should find solutions so that this country can be stable. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
