    "content": "Thank you for reminding me, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not know why we Africans are prone to conflicts. We have quite a number of conflicts in this country. For example, human and wildlife conflicts are rampant in this country; there are conflicts arising from land disputes, over pasture and water and conflicts arising from cattle rustling, especially among the pastoral communities. There are also conflicts arising from boundaries and political conflicts that lead to death, destruction and displacements. I will give examples of these. We have agro-pastoralists conflicts. This is where pastoralists drive their cows to graze on maize and sorghum belonging to crop farmers. The two groups end up killing each other, like it happened in the Tana Delta and many other places. If you travel across the breadth and length of this country, you will realize that conflict is so rampant. In the North Rift, we have problems between the Turkana and Pokot; the Pokot and Turgen or Ilchamus; the Samburu and Turkana; and the Kikuyu have problems with pastoralists. Therefore, conflicts are quite rampant in the North Rift. In the South Rift, we have problems between the Maasai and Kipsigis; the Kikuyu and Maasai, especially in Naivasha, who are quarrelling over land. In the former Eastern Province, we have issues between the Rendille and Turkana; and the Gabra and Borana having The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
