Some of them are historical and need to be addressed and finalized. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from time to time, we have tended to react by changing the law, establishing commissions of inquiry like the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation (TJRC) which has a report that has taken time to be implemented. We have established even permanent commissions. There is a commission called National Cohesion and Integration Commission in place. This commission was supposed to integrate communities where there are differences and conflicts so that they are nipped in the bud before they explode. We have not heard that commission rushing to Marsabit to find out what is happening and to bring communities to the table to discuss and resolve those issues. We know that our communities even traditionally had mechanisms of resolving disputes. Once in a while when they disagree, they are capable of resolving the issues through their systems like elders even without police or the military. Have we really exhausted that system? What are the institutions that were supposed to resolve conflicts? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today, no part of this country is safe. Today it may be Marsabit, the other day, it was Pokot and Turkana. Last year, it was Tana River. I read even that in mosques, there may be disputes which may break out. The other weekend I attended a funeral of people who had been beheaded. Criminals just attack a person for no apparent reason, killing him and injuring the wife. Let us also look at legislations."
