    "content": "I want to appeal to the Government and especially the departments concerned with security because I know there are some operations going on in Baringo and Laikipia. We said this should be done with a human face. Otherwise, we should not see a repeat of what used to happen before. The new Constitution has changed the way police should work. They should come closer to the people so that they can direct them to where the criminals are hiding. It should not be like before when they used force and it did not help. I come from an area where several operations have been done. During President Moi‟s time, we had one called “Nyundo Operation.” It did not bear any fruits but, instead, it brought so much hatred and the people began resisting the Government and security forces. During President Kibaki‟s time, he brought one called “Dumisha Amani Operation.” The forces deployed there worked with the people and provided them with water, drilled boreholes, provided medical services and brought together youth from various places through games and sports. We never heard anything bad until the recent one. We are asking ourselves how this came about when Government services are available all over and not like before. As I have said before, those in charge should be considerate. There are some services that are provided to communities that are affected by cattle rustling. For example, they were given seedlings, and the Government ploughed about 2,500 acres for them. I believe this will not happen to one community, but should be provided to all affected communities. We want those people to become one and live together and see that when one community is affected, the other one is also affected. The Government hand and support should be felt all over. But, if it will benefit one community, nothing will be realised. This is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
