    "content": "families, guardians and people who are related to them in one way or another in making them enjoy the benefits of constitutional provisions. Thanks to our Constitution. We intend to bring to the attention of the House the need to have a re-look at our disability Acts, the national policy on persons with disabilities and the regulations, some of which are ambiguous in operation, and have hampered the capacity to administrate and implement the Acts. We will be drawing the attention of the House to the same. Today, as I make my maiden speech, I join colleagues who have contributed over the last four days on security. Security matters are one of the contributing factors to disability. Where there is war and insecurity, people are injured and we create more disabled persons in the country. I appeal that maybe, it will be necessary to re-look at the causes and issues underlying in areas that have been unstable in our country. In the northern part, eastern, coastal area and the northern parts of the Rift Valley belt, there has to be concerted effort by all the leaders to look at the issue of cattle rustling as a menace that can be controlled. Having lived, worked and participated in faith-based services in this country for over 40 years, I have concluded that cattle rustling requires more political goodwill than any other method. The others are secondary. There has never been political goodwill at national and local levels. Perhaps, this House will consider at one point to re-introduce a Motion that will establish a taskforce of this Parliament to study and let people participate in contributing on the causes and remedies towards insecurity, especially in areas that are affected in the communities. With this, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity. I have been trying since we started, but I think I was a bit analogue because there is a button I did not press. I thought I could not see it. Thank you very much. May God bless you."
