    "content": "The Government must also ensure that because of this lucrative business of selling cattle, its administrative officers should be reshuffled every other time so that the Deputy County Commissioner who has been in Pokot for five years will not easily find a way of facilitating cattle rustling so as to make money. We urge that the problem of cattle rustling be taken very seriously. Leaders must be very sincere. Leaders from Pokot should meet with those from Marakwet without any bitterness. I come from a constituency that is an island. On one side, there are Nandis and on the other side there are Kipsigis, but we live very cohesively like brothers and sisters. There are a few cases of cattle rustling but we manage them because we engage as leaders. We believe that we are brothers and it is God who created our geographical setup. He knew that we are brothers and that is why He brought us together. However, when you see the Marakwet and the Pokot meet, there is a lot of bitterness which is generated by natural hate. This will not help us achieve what we want. We got independence a long time ago and I am wondering that even after 24 years when we wallowed in Nyayo milk, some people who were in the Rift Valley are still claiming that they do not have water and roads. I know that in Rift Valley, almost all the roads which were to be done by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) are on low volume. I wonder why places like Pokot lack proper roads. We want to be very serious and sincere to ourselves and make sure that the Government must be put to task to provide water, infrastructure and electricity so that bandits can be seen at night when driving the livestock away."
