    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to pass my condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. When these incidents usually happen, we normally have prior information, especially in the so-called marginalized and arid areas. These people come on foot and it takes them weeks to even prepare and even herdsmen see them and report to the village elders. Now it has come all the way to Nairobi where the Senator has even reported on the Floor of the House of this impending attack against his people. I support what Sen. Munyes is saying that the oil exploration should stop because the only interest the Government has in those areas are the resources whereas the people there have no use to the Government. It is said that when we go around killing each other, that is normal and that is why when it happens in Lamu, there is a lot of Government intervention but in our areas, people have been killing one another but the Government thinks it is normal. It is like we are used to killing ourselves. We are in a country which has a Government. So, what is the Government machinery doing? Why is it letting us butcher each other? Even the few Government officers who are said to be stationed in Turkana are actually guarding the oil exploration sites."
