    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to thank Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for being very courageous to bring this Motion here today because touching those areas is like you are touching something that you have never heard. Since we do not have enough time, this matter cannot be solved by the sitting Senate or by any Government unless there is a change of their conduct. West Pokot, Samburu and Laikipia are now in trouble, and nobody wants to touch Laikipia. All the tribes you have just mentioned come to steal livestock from Laikipia after they finish theirs. Let me come to an issue more serious than that. Supposing the four tribes join together and defy the system of government; who is going to change it? You call them Al-Qaida or any names but they will still be there. It is high time the Government of Kenya and other intelligent men and women started thinking whether we are not sitting on fire because this will happen and it is going to erupt. If the Pokot get armed to the teeth and other people do the same and they are encouraging Laikipia people to get involved, who is going to bring order in that area? We have problems in the north eastern areas such as Mandera and others. If we get another Mandera in Pokot, Samburu and Laikipia, how will we solve that problem? I can hear people being very happy to hear that even armoured cars are being bought to go and fight that war. I would rather not have something like that unless people The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
