    "content": "standards, research, advising people and the national Government and encouraging the national Government to allocate funding to peace building initiatives. Governors have been known - and I am not afraid to say so - that they use the insecurity and the militia for purposes of intimidating people who disagree with them for purposes of making sure that they perpetuate the power and façade of work and things that they are doing. Therefore, encouraging national and county governments to allocate funding for peace building initiatives will force some of these people who have abused their power and office to specifically address conflicts amongst members of counties. The register of peace building projects within Kenya will include people, donors and persons interested in helping these communities to audit what these people are doing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, after the NCIC has done an audit of its peace projects, somebody can do a follow up and find out what the people who have been in conflicts have done. They will then learn the nationhood. When national Government bothers to pay people about Kshs400,000 because they lost their homes, is that what we should be doing? Is Kshs400,000 equivalent to peace or loss of lives? Is that the solution? It cannot be. It is also window-dressing the problem that you can offer money through a kitty of Kshs5 billion - which the President mentioned sometime back to settle IDPs but I have never seen them. Sen. Elachi has done what everybody should do. This must be broken down into small pieces of things so that the conflict that Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo was addressing that caused the loss of lives can be addressed as an issue in that community. Therefore, we can start talking about the integration of communities and for whatever it is worth. The 20 functions given to Hon. Kaparo and his Commission can be audited one by one. When did they discourage institutions from promoting discrimination? When did you promote tolerance? When did you supervise national Government from employing people from one tribe? When did you ensure that there is equal access by all persons to services and facilities of Government? When did you investigate complaints of ethnic hatred? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when two governors in Rift Valley spoke in a manner to suggest that they were promoting ethnic conflict, all that the NCIC did was to tell them: “Please, come and record a statement.” When they went back, they were received as heroes and nothing happened to them, yet Members, including some from my coalition, had to spend four days in incarceration, yet strictly speaking, they never uttered a statement that would be in violation of integration or peace. Again, this is a case of double standards by the NCIC. So, I want Sen. Elachi to address the issue of continuous window dressing by the NCIC. I support."
