    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to comment on this. The issue of Kapedo requires a very radical action. Indeed, my Chairman, Hon. Koinange, has indicated that the issue of cattle rustling is not only cultural, but it has taken commercial, political and developmental angles. As a country, we actually need to come up with a more comprehensive approach to deal with cattle rustling in that region of Kapedo. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you will note that some time back there was a lot of cattle rustling on the Elgeyo Marakwet/West Pokot border. Moreover, there have been other areas where this has gone down. When the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security visited Baringo about three months ago, we found there were solutions that had been applied. Some of these solutions are to do with development, others are to do with applying the law the way it should be. Therefore, half-hearted solutions will not help. Therefore, I want to thank the Chairman for highlighting the key challenges and what the officers are doing. In addition, one of the officers – Superintendent Emadau lost life – and he hails from my community. It was unfortunate - and I think he was one of the most senior officers we had from that region - however a number of officers have lost lives over time. Therefore, I want to thank you."
