    "content": "would not release the camels. The wazees would dutifully bring the young people who had committed the crime because they wanted their camels back. That way, the place was kept peaceful for some time. It was not by using brutal force, but by understanding the psychology of the community. It is not enough to send an army to beat up people in Pokot. Learning the intelligence and culture is also as important in the war as having the weapons. In fact, Sen. G.G. Kariuki was saying that understanding the community is much more important. However, we cannot leave this completely to the county governments because we will just create one army against another army in Turkana and that war will never end. There must be a national command for the KPRs which will go all the way down to chief, county commissioner among others. That way, we will guard all these villages. There is no point of having Nyumba Kumi initiative if we have no fighting capacity. There should be a Nyumba Kumi KPRs to protect the “ten houses” security. Time has come for us to deal very radically with the security situation in this country. I want to thank the President for using the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) in cases where security has gone out of hand. We saw them deployed in Trans Nzoia during the land problems. When the army moved in, the Sabaot Land Defence Forces (SLDF) evaporated. I do not see how the Turkanas and the Pokots can defeat an army. Time has come for us to think along those lines."
