"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is one incident that I believe should be addressed because as a result of this incident, there was resurgence of crime in this area as a revenge mechanism. It is true that there is a problem in some of these areas, especially in pastoral areas of this country. We are saying that the Government should be non-partisan in addressing some of these issues. What is happening is that when they talk of disarmament or armament for that matter, because they have what they call the âPolice Reservistsâ, you find that there is some very un-procedural way of arming some people while others are not armed, depending on where âthe powerâ is. If a Minister is so powerful in the Government, he is able to convince the Government machinery to arm his people while the other neighboring community is not armed. In the same way, you will find that some are disarmed while some are not disarmed. So, out of all this irregularity and unfairness, you will find that there is no way there is going to be peace in this area unless the Government commits itself to working honestly and without any partisanship. This is one issue which the Government must really address and address very seriously, because we are aware that some areas are taking advantage of that situation; that because a Minister comes from a certain community, he comes and addresses the Government here and then, the following day, his people are armed. There is not going to be any harmony!"
