    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On the issue of insecurity in the mentioned parts of the country, we need to tackle it by addressing culture because some of these insecurities occur because of the culture of the people of that area. That is the truth of the matter. Raiding other communities’ homes and driving away huge herds of cattle is considered heroism in those parts of the country. Leaders from those parts of the country also need to address the issue of culture so that that kind of insecurity can be settled. We will continue blaming police officers and the Government when it is us who perpetuate this kind of culture. It is important for leaders in this House to consider having a deliberate discussion with the elders and young people from the affected communities to see how to change that kind of culture. It is not heroism to drive a huge herd of cattle using guns."
