    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, six months after we were sworn in, I tried to bring a Motion to this House. However, for very good reasons, I was persuaded to hold on. In spite of that, those Senators who were in Kisumu during the county conference will recall my statement. This is what I said: “The security situation with us now is the Al-Shabaab and cattle rustling in the North Rift. The serious issue which will come up is the question of boundary dispute in this country.” As the Chairperson of the Committee on Security and Foreign Relations, I tried all possible means to bring together the Commissioner of Lands, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Land, Housing and Urban Development and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, for the Government to take some positive steps to rectify what is going on. As late as yesterday, the Governor for Vihiga was complaining about Kisumu collecting taxes from his own region. This is not the first one. All over the country, there are boundary problems. If this issue is not addressed in good time, my word should be taken, seriously because we shall have wars going on and on in the counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee which has been given this task should come up with some specific recommendations which will resolve this matter."
