    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Hon. Emanikor actually raised the issue of that area of Turkana South losing many people to the extent that they are losing over 60 people per month, translating to 720. This is highly regrettable and we should not be losing Kenyans in this manner. We will be sitting together with hon. Members from that area and even hon. Rotino to see the best way possible of dealing with this problem. I agree with the hon. Members that, that area is poorly policed as per the reports from the local people. We need the Cabinet Secretary to come and confirm whether the Government is actually willing to add more vehicles and more personnel. We will invite hon. Emanikor and my good friend, hon. Nakuleu to come and argue their cases. In fact, I want them to come with written proposals so that we can address this problem that is so rampant. On the issue of the boundary between the areas of Turkwel and Lorogon; I think this is a more weighty issue. The issue normally involves the two counties of Turkana and West Pokot. The Cabinet Secretary and the entire Government machinery is qualified to actually deal with that matter expeditiously. I know we have tried as Members from the region to solve the issue. One time, we even invited His Excellency the President, but that meeting could not succeed because of misunderstandings. I think the Cabinet Secretary should be able to restart the process, so that these issues of boundaries can be solved. According to our Constitution, there are also provisions that can be used to address county problems. Lastly, on the issue raised by hon. Rotino, I think he should come up with a specific Statement request, so that the issue of Sigor can be handled separately. When we call the Cabinet Secretary, we will also invite hon. Rotino to come and say his bit of the story."
