    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you are putting me in an awkward position. First, for the period that I have been in this House, the tradition has been that we do not generate statements as Chairpersons of Committees. On several occasions various Chairpersons were challenged whether they are giving their opinion or official position of the relevant ministries. In my opinion, what is happening in Laikipia is wrong. I am a human rights defender, a pastoralist and I cannot wish that to happen anywhere. However, my predicament is, if I am required to issue a statement in this House, I must issue statements based on the facts that I have got from the ground. Of course, Sen. Lesuuda comes from Laikipia, the area where those activities are happening. What we are seeing is what we get from the media. I really sympathize with the communities that are affected but I request the House to give me time to get a proper, comprehensive answer. We can dedicate a date when we can give that answer."
