    "content": "Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank the Member for Wajir South for taking some very extraordinary Members of Parliament to his constituency. I never thought hon. Ogalo would be in Habaswein. I never thought that my good friend, the Member for Matungulu, would go and see the people of Habaswein. But that is how Kenya should be built. When we go to Nyanza, our colleagues in Nyanza should go to the north. When we go to Central, our colleagues in Central should go to the Coast. I want to speak, even as the Chair of North Eastern Parliamentary Group. The problem that is taking place in northern Kenya, in Mandera and Wajir is not new to us.

We are one community that professes the same language, the same culture, the same religion and the same habitat. It is the responsibility of the Government to deal with the perpetrators of violence. We want those who are killing to be apprehended. We want those who are burning houses to be apprehended as well, even if it is a Member of Parliament. Even if it is hon. A.B. Duale who is causing insecurity in the northern part of Kenya, he must be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
