    "content": "the onus falls on us that we must not be the fire or the fuel and say “my people, my people” we must remember that even with devolution, we are still a unitary State. The people of Makueni and Taita Taveta are still Kenyans. We must not stand at the centre of the chaos and divide our people. As we wait for this legislation because it will take some time and I can see that the time prescribed here for legislation is about 90 days. It will take even longer to have it on this Floor, have it debated, passed and assented to. I hope that we will take the responsibility as leaders not to become part of the problem. We should help in guiding because at the end of the day the people who suffer most in this circus are women and children. We have seen the insecurity that is going on in Baringo, where, for example, about 20 public schools are closed because of issues of boundaries and natural resources. We must stand and give guidance and not become part of the problem. I want to thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and hope that the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights will get the mandate from this House to initiate this critical legislation."
