    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is good and important that we are talking about most of the burning or small issues which could turn up to be very big. Boundaries are very sensitive. They should be discussed and an amicable solution reached at. If we do not handle these issues very carefully, they will result into conflict. We had Post Election Violence (PEV) and witnessed our country burning. Small issues like these ones could start, but eventually end up being big. We have heard someone questioning about boundary disputes between Kajiado and Makueni counties. We have also heard about boundary disputes in Kakamega and other areas. People may start bringing up boundary disputes having seen others do so. We do not want that to happen. This is a time we are trying to build our nation, improve on cohesion and move forward. We, as a Senate, must ensure that we take the lead and come up with solutions. I know that these are issues we have been debating on. There is a Bill by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights that will ensure that there are proper ways and processes of mediation to ensure that we arrive at amicable solutions that can help us handle such situations. This is because year in, year out, and generation to generation, we have witnessed such issues. If they are not handled properly, they will repeat themselves. Therefore, I support that there be a proper way of handling these issues."
