    "content": "been arrested. We have not been told: “These are the people who were involved in the Mpeketoni killings, these were their financiers, this was the mandate that they were given and these are the spanner boys and big boys behind these killings.” I find this incredible. All we do, as leaders, is political blame-game. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the buck must stop with somebody. We cannot keep blaming each other and passing the buck all the time when we have specific mandates in this country. Can we not, at least, for once have just one person arrested, so that we are told: “When the Pokots are killing Turkanas and the Turkanas are retaliating, at least, for the last 20 years, we have been able to come up with one little solution to this problem?” We know that it happened last year, it is happening this year and probably it will also happen next year. Where is all this money going to? Do we want to say that with all the state machinery, departments of security and armed forces that we have in this country – hundreds and thousands of military men and women – none of them has been able to come up with a lasting solution? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we say that it is time that the leaders of this nation come together to reason, then you find another leader stating clearly that they should not. What does it cost when two leaders, all Senators or Members of Parliament come together to reason, in order to get a lasting solution? It is very sad because if we did not mean well for this country, for example, as the Opposition, we should be celebrating when things are going wrong. But all we are saying is that we are not interested in a celebration that is costing lives. As opposed to getting points that we will present before the same electorate, to tell them that these people did not do this and that, we are saying: Let us come together and put the problems of this nation on the table, interrogate them, reason together and come up with lasting solutions."
