    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Turkana County borders three international boundaries, that is, Uganda, Ethiopia and Sudan. This gives us every reason to urge the Government to pay more attention to Turkana County. The issue at hand is an atrocity committed by non-Kenyans who have crossed the border and now live on Kenyan soil. These people have crossed the border and are now ten kilometers into our land. The issue has been reported to security agencies. It is now almost one month since the killings started and no action has been taken by the Government. What we now urge as a House is that the Government drives back these Sudanese to their area. The Kenyan security forces should then secure our land for the peaceful stay of our people. We cannot exist with non-Kenyans on our land when there is no bilateral agreement between the Kenyan Government and these arsonists. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also urge the Government to be a bit sensitive to the issue of the pastoralist communities, be it from North Eastern Province, Eastern Province or Turkana County. Once an incident happens in the ASAL area, it is just termed as that. A report showing how many people died is all that is done. The whole thing then stops there. However, when a single person dies in his house somewhere in Nairobi, the Government constitutes a commission to investigate the cause of death. We cannot be treated discriminately. We are not in Kenya by choice. The Government, therefore, has no option other than accommodating us like the rest of Kenyans. We also want the Government to ensure that there is equitable development. The lifestyle of our people must change. The Government should not allow them to rely solely on livestock. We want the Government to improve the infrastructure in the area. If the Government wants to retaliate, where will the security personnel pass and yet there"
