    "content": "could not see each other. The same case applied to Trans Nzoia. There was a time when the Government was using force. In 1984, there was an operation called Nyundo Operation . That is a hammer. You hammer it and you are hammering it to somebody who is illiterate. There were a lot of rumours that these militiamen went to Israel for training. This was just propaganda which could not even help. I want to thank the Kibaki Government. When he took over, he changed. Instead of having the Nyundo Operation, he brought Dumisha Amani Operation where the military that used to come and harass us was used to get water for the people through drilling boreholes. Therefore, there was no reason for anybody to go from West Pokot to Trans Nzoia in search of water. Already, we had water on the other side. Those are the people who are using their brains. Instead of hitting, they saw it good to come together and assist the people. The people lacked these resources and so, the Government provided them. I also want to thank the current Government. The Deputy President has been there several times and has been telling the people that “I have come here and we want to correct the injustices that used to be there”. I know he means well for us. The President has also come twice. There are good things coming from them. Mine is just to appeal to the people in charge, especially those who are helping the President and the Deputy President, to do their job. What happened in Laikipia is so shameful. How can one kill animals when he is given the responsibility to protect the lives of the people and their property? Animals are people’s only source of livelihood, yet you go there and kill them. Even if an individual made a mistake, only one mzungu was killed. How many people die because of hunger? I do not have anything to say about them. They are here and they have to obey what others do because they found the resources here. They have to go with what we want. Those are our grazing fields."
