    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Committee for the response. The Senate needs to be informed that there is an initiative by the local community living along the border who voluntarily decided to become peace keepers. The Government has also recognised them. However, now that the peace keepers have stepped in to do what the national Government is supposed to be doing; the General Service Unit (GSU) are back in their camp, the Administration Police (APs) and the Anti-Stock Theft Unit are also back in their camps. On a day- today basis these 60 people have been walking from village to village preaching peace and they have made a lot of progress in the last six months. My question which has not been fully answered is: What will the families of these people eat considering that they have no other means of earning a living? What has the national Government done to assist these people, for example, by giving them food rations? The Vice Chairperson has not answered that question. She talks about limited and regular funding, which does not exist. I have just come from there 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."
