"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with him that the boundary dispute between Isiolo and Meru counties did not start on 20th December, 2013, when the former CS is said to have met Embu leaders. When I was the Acting Minister for Internal Security, I also made arrangements for leaders to meet and discuss in order to resolve the issues. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question on boundary dispute rages all over the country. I agree with the Senator that the Ministry - although a committee which will look into that matter has been set up - should fast-track and make sure that surveyors identify the boundary and the communities are informed on that, once and for all. In any way, that is not enough reason for people to kill each other. The Government should use its muscle to make sure that people do not take the law into their hands. Almost everybody knows where the boundary is, but they still arm themselves and kill each other. I will also report to the CS that there is need for him to give a timetable on when the process will start and when the work will be concluded. The question raised by Sen. Abdirahman is also valid. I am aware of the issue of Garissa and Wajir South boundary dispute. It is time we called a spade a spade. A solution must be found so that the wanton killing of people and stealing of cattle is arrested once and for all."
