"content": "Secondly, from 1983 to 1999 Kenya went through a very noble exercise. That was developing what was called the âConflict Early Warning Systemâ for the Inter- Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region in the horn of Africa. I know that there is a focal point in the Office of the President. This initiative is supposed to give early warning prior to conflicts. It is a mechanism; it is scientific and digital. However, what we have seen lately is that there is no early warning. What we have is response. Our people will continue to suffer as long as we do not have an early warning system and all we do is to rush when a conflict occurs. I speak as a secondary victim of the conflict happening in North Eastern Province, because I happen to border that province. Right now, many camels and cows have been moved to my constituency as a result of this conflict. This is causing secondary conflict because camels go into peopleâs farms; at the end of the day there is a conflict between the farmers and the pastoralists. What has the Government done to make sure that the conflict in Mandera and the conflicts that have occurred in Garissa in the recent past cease, so that people in neighbouring constituencies can live in peace?"
