"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the issues raised by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. First and foremost, I would like to say that as a Committee we rely on the information given by the relevant department. That is what I have in this answer. The Statement said that land had already been identified in Lamut and Perkeye areas and construction will be done once the funds are available. We need to refer that to the Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. As to whether the Government is serious or not, of course, it is serious on security matters although there are challenges. Regarding the issue of adequate security I do not think I can respond to that because he has not requested for information about adequate security on the ground. I might not be able to respond to that question right now. However, if he really wants additional information on that matter, then I will give it to him. Regarding the inter-communal grazing committee, this is information that we were given by the Office of the President. It is a matter that I can confirm if he asserts that the committees are not on the ground. Finally, regarding Uwezo Fund, this is used for the empowerment of the youth and women. For us who come from pastoral communities, the reason people get involved in other criminal activities is because of poverty and idleness. By providing Uwezo Fund, it can occupy them leaving little time for cattle rustling. If the Senator thinks he has a better solution to this particular problem, we can sit down and discuss a way forward to resolve the problem."
