    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this adjournment Motion and, indeed, to look at what is happening around the country, especially in Marsabit. I want to put it clearly that it is also important for the leaders of Marsabit to come out clearly. The main challenge they are facing is when you have one clan saying that they have been left out. Indeed, the clan or the tribe must also appreciate that we have moved on and there are people who have been elected as leaders; knowing very well that these are competent leaders who will take care of them. Therefore, it is time they joined hands and worked together. In so doing, we will solve the issue very easily. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support what Sen. Lesuuda and the Senator for Marsabit County said. They even tabled some pictures from Marsabit where the said Member of Parliament was supervising a lorry which was just about to be burned at that time. This is not the first time that Members from the National Assembly are doing this. They need to know that security is paramount in this country. When you look at the conflicts in Turkana and Pokot, again, it is the Members of the National Assembly who incited members of the public. When you look at the conflict that is going on in Tana River, it is the Members of the National Assembly who incited the public. They should stop fueling conflicts. Instead, they should sit down as leaders and look at how they can address the issues without trying to bring in the tribal, political, the national and county government factors. That is what is happening. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
