    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) It is not true that there are numerous cases of cattle rustling in Kisumu Town East Constituency. According to police records, there have been only six cases of cattle theft in which a total of 22 head of cattle were stolen, out of which 17 have so far been recovered. Going by the reports given to the police, we recovered three head of cattle in 2009. We also have criminal case No.62A/164/09 which is also pending before court. We have one other case where one cow was stolen; criminal case No.62A/183/09. We also have another criminal case involving two cattle, under criminal case No.62A/192/09. We also have another case where seven head of cattle were stolen and the police recovered all of them. The case is pending under case No.62A/219/09. There is another one under No.62A/289/09 involving two head of cattle, where we recovered both of them. There is also criminal case No.62A/307/09 where seven head of cattle were stolen and we recovered four of them. So, going by the figures which I have just indicated, the situation is under control. (b) All cases reported are before the court. The issue of compensation and who is liable can only be decided upon by the court. (c) The establishment of an Anti-Stock Theft Unit is not based on the constituencies. It is dependent on the trait of stock theft and availability of funds and personnel. The situation is Kisumu Town East Constituency, therefore, does not warrant such development. Therefore, we do not have immediate plans to establish an Anti-Stock Theft Unit as for now."
