    "content": " Mr. 604 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 12, 2007 Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been asked to guarantee security to the task force. That security is there. That is why the task force is intact and in existence in the area. Security for the task force will continue to be provided. What I cannot guarantee is whether the task force will finish the work in two weeks. It all depends on the pace at which they will move in doing the work. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kagwima wants me to guarantee him that the boundaries that now exist will remain intact. If I were to give that kind of guarantee, then I do not know why this task force should be set up. So, I would rather leave this matter to the task force to determine. The task force is looking at the boundaries that will create peace in the area. I am sure that the task force will not recommend anything that will disturb peace. To that extent, we must give them the discretion to determine the final conclusion rather than direct them the way they were directed before, in 1986. Mr. Kagwima also raised the issue of the chairman of Njuri Ncheke . That is for the Meru people to decide. As I said in the Ministerial Statement, the meeting that was held in March, 2007, at which, I believe, the hon. Member was present, agreed that the Njuri Ncheke would handle this matter. Obviously, the chairman of that Njuri Ncheke is very well known in Meru. If he has to be replaced, it is the Meru people who will do it, and not us in the Government. So, I want to thank the people of that area, because when they were cautioned that they should not continue to disturb peace, they agreed to wait for the task force to carry out its work. I hope a similar thing could happen in Mount Elgon."
