"content": "As the solution, first, the Senate must support the way forward in terms of the Marginalisation Policy. We should tell the Governors who are opposing the Policy that we must go to those villages where the youth have nothing to do and get them roads, electricity and take them to school. Children in some parts of Baringo County are being born under trees. When such a person wakes up, when they are 18 years old and still find the same tree where they were born under, they will get ammunition and a gun and steal cattle, because there is nothing else in life for them. This is the situation. We must condemn discrimination and marginalisation of Samburu, Isiolo, Garissa and Mandera counties in the strongest terms possible because that is where the problem started. Now, 50 years after Independence, even when we set up the Marginalisation Policy, eight years into it, the Board that has been set up is spending Kshs600 million flying around in choppers. My dear colleagues, please, let us start telling people the truth and set them free, because that is the way to do it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
