    "content": "I am sorry, I meant Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I did not see the transformation and transition. I apologise. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for accepting my apology. I am reminded by my friends on the Jubilee side that I should accept that there is Madam Speaker, who is now on the Chair. I have accepted and agreed. The President talks about social justice. We must seek to deepen social justice through welfare programmes that target the marginalised and those who come from arid and semi-arid (ASAL) areas. They suffer a lot. It is like some regions have been forgotten. They lack water. People die because of famine. For us to show good social justice, there has to be affirmative action, especially for northern Kenya, which has been neglected by many governments before. There should also be affirmative action for places like Ukambani, Coast Province and some parts of the North Rift. There must be more elaborate plans to make sure that these people also live as Kenyans. Sometimes I wonder why there has been so much conflict in the Rift Valley. Is it cattle rustling? Is there some politics to it? With regard to the issue of security in the Rift Valley, the conflict between the Pokot, Marakwet, Turkana and the people who live in that region has to be addressed. For us to get a lasting solution to this, leaders have to be involved. They have to sit down and talk. I know that however strong the army or police that we send there is, without leaders coming together and sorting the problem, it will recur."
