    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is a pity I was not in the House when this matter was being interrogated because it is my constituency, Lagdera, that is involved. I do not want to get involved as a leader in creating tension in this country by saying so-and-so is at fault and so-and-so is at fault. The only way these issues can be tackled properly is if there is a Parliamentary Committee that goes on the ground and carries out the investigation. If we allow things to happen the way some people would want them to happen, then we will have ethnic cleaning from one place to the other. People will say that this is the boundary of such and such community, they are the majority in that or the other district and there will be that kind of a thing. I wish I had been informed by the Minister that this Ministerial Statement was being delivered today because I had tried to get that information from him in the morning when I was in the Chair. The only way is for you to direct the Committee. Not only do we have a problem in the boundary between Garissa and Wajir, but a much more serious problem in Mandera where 10 people have lost their lives within the shortest possible time. We should have the Committee go down there. In Lagdera and Garissa, we lost one life and we regret it in every sense but if that can be handled by that independent Committee, other than that, even the Government itself can be biased in one way or the other, and we saw that in the last Government."
