    "content": "these primary schools where you will find 100 children being taken care of by one teacher or two teachers because other teachers do not want to go to that place. These schools are Musenge Primary School, Kalalani Primary School, Inyaali Primary School and Kyeni Primary School. These are children who live there and it is important that teachers and pupils feel safe. One way of doing this would be to provide alternative economic empowerment activities for the people from both areas; Kitui and Tana River so that they would not have to go into the forest to burn charcoal. If they had something else to do, then it means this place would be left on its own. The other problem we have here which I would like to say is the problem of the border. The Tana River side is pulling saying it is on their side and the Kitui County side also feels it is in their county and because of this we have had problems of people being arrested. Instead of them being taken to court on the side of Kitui, they are taken to court on the side of Tana River. This has caused a lot of pain to my constituents. This is not fair. Because I know this area is important and it does not have animals, it should be declared as a place where people can live. If not, we should have chiefs, assistant chiefs who will support and ensure there is security. I would like to thank our security officers even as I say this because we have not had deaths for the last one year. Before, we had people being killed there but, they have ensured there is peace. I take this opportunity to call for economic empowerment and for the matter of the border to be resolved. We know this area belongs to Kitui County and so it should be declared to be within Kitui County. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to speak."
