    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the hon. Member misunderstood me. I said that a Minister at the national level forgets and starts castigating a smaller community. There are big and small communities. He should feel responsible for service delivery to all the communities, big and small. So, I have no insulting intention on the size of any community at all. My point is that we need a comprehensive strategy with adequate resources to deal with this matter. If we say that children should go to school, it is not enough to put it on paper. Let those schools be built, funded and all children should go to those schools. If those who already have the attitude of moranism; that you have to go and give 1,000 animals before you marry---- Let us put them in an army under a command within that community and totally control them to do the right things. We should make them dig dams, boreholes and use their energy productively for the benefit of this country. That way, we will not give time for commercial interests to take over old ethnic rivalries and start benefitting from them. I think the Committee must have come across intelligence information that people with capital actually promote cattle rustling. They use lorries and big trucks to move animals. They impoverish the people who have suffered to bring up those animals and they take them in their thousands. Massive resources must be deployed if we are going to implement the new Constitution. What the leaders from those communities should be demanding is a separate budget line to deal with the insecurity in those areas. That budget line is beyond the equalization fund."
