    "content": ") I agree with the Assistant Minister that the KDF do a good job when they are out of this country, as they ought to be. The KDF have no capacity to do a good job internally, because they are ill-suited for the job. I think that is the point that we want to make. So, at no time, whether they are deliberately deployed, which is, of course, what we are saying is unconstitutional until it comes to this Parliament, or when they react as it is being alleged, they should not be doing that business within the nation. They must allow the police to do that job. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to make one appeal to the Assistant Minister. Knowing the kind of potential mess we have gone through--- Surely, hon. Elmi, the Minister of Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands has shed tears before the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commision (TJRC) on the Wagalla massacre. Are we saying as a country that we have not learnt anything from those things? Are we saying that we have not learnt anything from Operation Nyundo in Pokot in the early 1980s and that we want to engage more military operations? My plea to the Assistant Minister is that anything to do with the KDF operations should be put to a halt so that we can look at other ways of dealing with security issues, especially in pastoral areas. I submit, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
