    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also join my colleagues in thanking Sen. Karaba in bringing this very important petition from the nine clans of the Agikuyu. I want to take this opportunity to address the chamber and to raise a matter of national importance. Two of our communities in Turkana and West Pokot have been fighting thinking that by fighting over boundaries, they will determine them. Sen. Orengo has ably put it that the boundaries will be determined by the two Houses of Parliament. The conflict in Turkana and West Pokot is over boundaries because they have 19 disputed boundaries. We have told them that they cannot fight over boundaries because the Senate and the National Assembly have the final say as far as land disputes are concerned. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have lost so many lives over land disputes, as you saw in Nadome and Kapedo. We call upon the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights to expedite this process. I know that 50 per cent of cattle rustling problems are based on The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
