    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the elders from my constituency and those from Belgut where the perpetrators come from, for having initiated some peace meetings which have borne some fruits. This has brought the menace to an end and my people can now sleep peacefully with their animals. The report that we want to adopt in this House today has also recommended various steps that the Government needs to take in terms of moving very fast and making sure that we stop losing lives in the hands of security agents or organized gangs. I want to urge the Government to take the recommendations in this Report very seriously and act upon them very swiftly. The Government must make sure that the people who are behind these killings are brought to book and if possible, prosecuted and put behind bars. On the issue of the lives which were lost in the Rift Valley, and I know there has been some misunderstanding here and there between the police and the local community, the reasons why that happened is not coming out clearly. I want to believe that our recommendations should guide the police towards making sure that the culprits are also brought to book. With those remarks, I beg to second the Motion."
