    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also stand to support the Report which is on the Floor of the House. This Report was completed in 2015and the main problem is the border issue in Laikipia, Turkana, Pokot and Baringo. Last week and part of this week, we are still experiencing problems in one of the counties that had already been mentioned. Therefore, the Committee should ensure that the relevant Ministry implements the observations and recommendations that were developed by the Committee. Madam Temporary Speaker, insecurity is on the rise not only in these places but also in other parts of the country. It is unfortunate that the leadership of Jubilee Government is quiet about it. When we look at the observations, there is wastage of public funds. Sen. (Dr.) Zani said that 15 police posts were built using Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). I wonder if that is the way to spend money meant to develop a constituency. The police posts have been built, yet we do not have officers serving in these posts. This means that this was not done on priority basis. There was no public participation to find out from the people if they needed these police posts. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have illegal firearms in the hands of the residents. That is why insecurity has escalated from the normal cattle rustling to the use of force and killings. This affects education. How do we expect children in Laikipia, Turkana, West Pokot and Baringo to compete favourably with other children? A solution must be found soon. Madam Temporary Speaker, the other observation from the Committee is that there is inter-ethnic hostility, which has been witnessed for a long time. There is also political incitement from the leaders. We expect leaders to help restore peace, but they are doing something different. That is why a Senator was engaging--- What is the Commission led by Francis ole Kaparo doing? Up to date, he has not mentioned anything about this. Recently, we heard about our soldiers who died in El Adde and many other places in Somalia, but the President and Cabinet Secretary are quiet on this matter. There are many young widows; the wives of the soldiers who died in the line of duty. The Jubilee administration should account for what it has done to restore security in this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to talk about the living standards---"
