"content": "I know there is a crisis. Yesterday, I watched the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration who is leading the operation in this area. His sentiments tie with what my colleague, Member for Turkana County, has talked about. It has moved from cattle rustling to terrorism. I just want to urge the Government that we cannot continue to sit pretty when lives are being lost. I also want to urge our people, the pastoral community, to slightly elevate the value of human life over cattle. In fact, I am a bit disappointed. The hon. Member was proceeding very well. However, she said that she is more worried about the number of votes that she got and whether she would get them which belittles the issue at hand. There is drought that is ravaging the country. I was watching television yesterday. Leave alone livestock, people are dying. I read in the newspaper today that someone has chased away students from a school and occupied it with his two wives. It is a very sad situation. The Government needs to give it a bit more attention."
