    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this very important Motion. I would like to congratulate my fellow young Senator, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., for coming up with this Motion, which in the recent times is one that really excites me. This is because it touches on the core issue of why we represent our people and that is safeguarding their lives. On this issue of boundaries, when you look at the reverse of what has been happening, if we are not bold enough to actually move with speed with what this Motion says, you will see that it has had very negative impact on our people, especially the loss of life. For me, as a champion of peace in this country, who has traversed various areas and actually had the privilege of going to almost all parts of this country, especially areas where communities for a very long time have been having conflict, one of the key issues has been boundaries, especially among the pastoral areas. I know, for example, between the Pokot and Turkana, Pokot and Samburu, Tana River, Ijara and Garissa, the key issue that keeps coming up when we are dealing with the communities is the issue of boundaries. When we fail to do our job, the people and the communities that we represent will do it for us. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have seen communities taking up the role of creating the boundaries themselves. They know that if you pass there, a bullet will get--- When we run away, shy off or fear to do our job, the people will do the job for us.
