    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support my colleagues who have said that we need to address some of these issues that are associated with communities, for example, the boundaries. Although we may think that we do not have an issue and expect the local wananchi to be satisfied, they may not understand what we actually mean. Sometimes you find that some bandits and criminals take advantage and cause havoc in the name of “this is their territory.” It is essential that these issues are addressed, especially in my county as well as Turkana County so that it is easy to pick on and know how the development of the area is done, to the extent that if Pokots are found on the other side of the boundary, just as Sen. Orengo has said, it is easier for them to be administered from Turkana County and vice versa. However, today you may find them on the other side, yet they do not want to follow laws and procedure of that side because they think that they come from the other county and vice versa. Let us look at it and ask the relevant Committee and arm of Government to address it, so that we settle some of these issues. It is easier now to go and fight other problems that have been hiding behind the boundary issues. That is what took me to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday where they asked me where I think the boundaries are set. I then wondered why the Government was asking me about boundaries which I do not where they are because it is the government officers who have the maps. We need to save our Government from running business on trial and error basis. We need to identify and come up with proper beacons.. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support what Sen. Karaba has brought, so that we clearly demarcate some of the boundaries to the satisfaction of the said persons."
