    "content": "Yes. They sought for a long lasting solution. First of all, I want to thank hon. Oyoo for the efforts he has made to ensure there is peaceful co-existence between the many communities in that region. I also want to thank the people of Muhoroni - especially that area - for encouraging marriages and businesses in that place. We would encourage them to continue marrying each other so that some sort of peace can be achieved when all of them are related to each other. On the issue of long lasting solution, I think I agree with the hon. Member that we need to enhance the police patrol base at Ruga. That is because if you get the history, around 1992, we had issues of ethnic tension around that area. So, we will ensure and we will get in touch with the Cabinet Secretary to ensure that, that patrol base is upgraded. On the issue of holding peaceful meetings, I want to encourage that. Peaceful meetings should be conducted between all communities in that area. We should not also forget that even the Governors from both sides can also hold those meetings because all governors are chairpersons of the county policing authority. So, they can also liaise together and make sure that those meetings are done. Otherwise, on the issue of squatters going to individual farms, I think this will not be tolerated. We will liaise with the Office of Inspector-General to ensure that private property is protected and squatters should not be allowed to invade private farms. We will ensure that it is done and those who fail to observe that will have to face the full force of the law. Thank hon. Speaker Sir.
