    "content": "My concern is that this country is highly divided because we all retreat into our own tribal cocoons. Since we now have a devolved government system, it is a high time we try and embrace our neighbours. Therefore, I would like to urge our brothers and sisters who are visiting to sit down and try and come up with a good peaceful resolution on how the Ilchamus can coexist with the Pokots. It is very sad when you visit an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp and when you are there, two or three babies are born. Yes, it is a blessing but we are creating poor people. It is not that the country is not able to sustain them but because we like retreating into our own tribal cocoons. So, I would like to encourage our visiting MCAs from West Pokot to reach out to their neighbours in Baringo County and Turkana County to try and find ways that they can be able to coexist. Mr. Speaker Sir, I also noted that the level of education in West Pokot, Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet and Turkana counties is actually very low. So, I would like to encourage the visiting MCAs of West Pokot County Assembly to try and ensure that they invest heavily in early childhood education so that we can uplift the standard of living of our people. I once again welcome you to the Senate. Thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
