    "content": "ranch or a farm. When human beings in the name of security agencies shoot animals - who are very innocent - it is sad. I have heard police officers saying that they shot and the other party returned fire. I do not know if the cows actually returned fire, but as the Maa nation, we are mourning because of that. We ask that there be a lasting solution. If there is none, then there will be perennial conflict between the pastoralists, farmers and ranchers. This happened around three months ago and a number of livestock were killed. As the Maa nation and leaders from the Maasai pastoralist community, we kept quiet and thought that there would be a lasting solution only for it to be repeated after three months. That is why we demand that a lasting solution be found. A lasting solution will first of all be by compensating the affected families. They have lost their livelihood. But for us, compensation is not enough. As I said earlier, we have a social attachment to our animals. We also demand an apology from the security agencies through Boinett, the ranchers and the ranch guards. As Hon. Peris Tobiko has said, the leases of the ranches are expiring and big businessmen and politicians have rushed to Laikipia to purchase the ranches. The ranches should revert back to the original owners. That is the only time we will find a lasting solution."
