    "content": "If this Commission, and I believe we have expertise in it, does its work well, this country will save a lot of resources. We are talking about conflict in Samburu, where my Committee is now focusing on Kitui and other areas. These are conflicts that are caused by scarcity of water, leadership and politics. They have just witnessed some contributors who swayed them to that direction which I do not want to go to. If this Commission could be on the lookout and execute its mandate, we could start to hear of people who are locked up because of being unethical and promoting divisive politics. That is the time we will drive this country into the right direction. It is my sincere hope that once this Commission is in place, it will not only learn from the experiences of the past commissions, but it will also look at some of the areas that have not been exploited by past commissions because they are there. I am persuaded that as we talk about this Commission, which is also charged with the responsibility of ensuring that we live in peace and harmony, it will work with the National Steering Committee on Peace Building and Conflict Management, which sits in the Office of the President. It looks at building peace in this country. They should work closely, so that as they execute their mandate, they can complement each other. In the past, we have not seen the two organs, namely, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission and the National Steering Committee on Peace Building and Conflict Management, which sits in the Office of the President do much. As a peace practitioner in this country, I would like to see much more in that direction."
