"content": "In my county, one time, one of my colleagues was on record for having married with the highest number of cattle. He carried almost 500 head of cattle to marry a lady in our village. In fact, it was trouble. If you want to marry in my community, you must take cattle. Maybe, we can adopt other means of payment. We need to detach value from cattle and give more value to human life. What is the dispute? It is because someone’s cattle were taken. It is because of cattle that we are losing lives. That is one thing that we need to change. This country at large is facing a very serious crisis in the near future because of the drought that we are currently experiencing. These guys will have double tragedy. If there is anything that we can do, I urge my colleagues to do it. If they can take the whole of the military to that particular area to wipe out all those people… The allegations that my colleague has talked about are serious. It is very sad. We will call out those particular Members if they are sitting amongst us as we debate serious issues of national importance, yet they are the ones funding the killings and are messing with people’s livelihood. It is sad especially now that Kenyans look up to this House."
