I would have loved to make my contribution when my colleague, Sen. Hargura was here. It is unfortunate that he has left. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, about two weeks ago, I had the privilege of visiting Marsabit County with Sen. Hargura. We were treated to a cultural event that had more than 14 different ethnic communities. Every time a representative from all those ethnic communities got an opportunity to stand and speak on behalf of their community, the only word they spoke about was security. Each of them had a specific complaint about how insecure they feel in their communities, based on assaults and attacks from inter- ethnic communities. But what was curious was that each of those speakers would mention a name of a leader. We crossed over and visited Turkana County. We did a number of visits with the same team of Senators and other leaders. I remember in one of the meetings, we were treated to beautiful songs by school children.
