    "content": "Looking at some of the commissions that we have, you are sometimes left to wonder whether we need to hire people from outside this country to come and do things that are supposed to be done by the people of this country who mean well for this country. This is something that we can look at when we get there and have to be very keen on. As the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government, I see that once this Motion is passed, it will come to our Committee. I want to give the assurance to the Members of this House, because this is something that we have talked about for a very long time. This is something that is actually just passive, especially among the pastoral communities. Even now we have drought and livestock have to keep moving. Every other time you will hear that an attack has happened somewhere, because a certain community feels that the other community has come into their boundary, yet they are not even too sure where the boundary is. That is why the loss of life continues to happen. So, I really believe that we should move with speed once this issue comes to our Committee. It is something that we should run with as a Senate, and continue to show this country that in this House, we are courageous and bold enough to tackle the issues that actually affect the lives of Kenyans. We will not shy away. Madam Temporary Speaker, without belaboring the point why this is a very important Motion in the Senate, I would like to, once again, congratulate my fellow Senator and also Sen. Sang for eloquently and ably putting across the points in supporting this Motion. Thank you very much."
