    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I explained myself on the demarcation and I want to repeat it here. We were in Kapedo. We experienced the challenge of that area; it is bordering West Pokot and all those areas. This problem is not only in Turkana and West Pokot, but it is in most parts of this country. Of course, the challenge of resources is there, but we, as a Committee, discovered that the major problem there is about boundary disputes, especially in Kapedo and West Pokot. I agree with Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo on that one. We are making recommendations to look at those boundaries to come up with a quick resolution on demarcating the boundaries. I believe that the Motion that was passed in the House will also help us sort out this problem, especially in Turkana, where we have a big problem, as we found out as a Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, the issue of moving the GSU units is something we can request the Ministry because we are not aware of the specific areas that have challenges. Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo can meet the Committee and give his recommendations, then we can discuss with the department. As for peace meetings to be a long term solution, it is a matter that is very important because most of the time, you will find that it is done when there are issues. However, we need to inculcate this culture of peace meetings to be in communities for a very long time. When we were in Mandera County, for example, that is an issue we discussed as a Committee with the county government and also with the security agencies. I believe that will also appear in our report. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the issue of “roaming armed bandits.” Of course, bandits are armed. I just read the Statement we were given. As much as I am concerned, the bandits are all armed."
