There is a school of artillery, school of infantry, school of combat engineers and 78 Tank Battalion. Those four army barracks have given us a lot of peace and harmony because there is very little in terms of external effects to the population. I support this process because it is a long-term engagement, unlike the previous one, which was on a six-month renewal basis. This one will provide a lot of engagement, whether through the government-to-government partnership or to the local people. This will help us to realize a harmonious co-existence with the local communities, if all our recommendations here are followed. Finally, I wish to sympathise with our brothers in Meru on the issue of miraa . This has been a major part of the economy in Meru. A lot of attention needs to paid to their source of livelihood. We should look for considerable ways of reversing the decisions arrived at since"}
