    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, there is the issue of boundary disputes in Wajir, and I am asking myself whether in the 21st Century, we should still be seeing two clans killing each other because of a boundary dispute. Some of the leaders have been in Parliament for 20 years and they know the challenges they are facing. Is it not time we went back and re-looked at the boundaries and settled down once and for all? It is time we solved the problems in Wajir and Mandera. We should put all the fighting to a stop. We thought that with the advent of county governments, they will embrace each other and pursue development, but it seems this problem is not coming to an end. If the issue is really a boundary dispute, I think it is time the Government came in and sorted it out once and for all. It is very unfortunate that we can kill each other because of a boundary dispute. This is really unfair. I would wish the Senate Departmental committee in charge of security went to Mandera and looked at the boundary that we are talking about. You might be very surprised that it may not be enough land to even bury an individual on. I remember the Chief Justice saying – he said it in such a simple manner that we took it as a joke – that we should use different ways to manage conflicts. What he really meant was that within our own cultures, we have beliefs that are even more powerful than the gun. It is time we respected our various cultural ways of doing things because it helps. I support."
