    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we proceed, I request your guidance and direction. Order No.19 is the Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill (Senate Bills No.12 of 2023), which the owner is yours truly. I need your guidance because when the Bill went to the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, neither the stakeholders nor I were invited, and I have not seen the committee report. I need your guidance on whether I am allowed to move the Bill when called upon to, or should I wait for stakeholders’ engagement and the committee report before moving it. The tradition of the House has been that at least I should be in line with the committee report, so that when I move the Bill, I am aware of the reservations. This Bill comes at a time when we are fighting cattle rustling and produce theft across the country, especially in the North Rift where I come from and parts Northern Kenya. I thought this Bill should define the role of the Senate in terms getting solutions against cattle rustling and produce theft across the country and not just in the North Rift. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
