"content": "Stock theft is a booming business that involves many people across the board. There are leaders such as Members of Parliament (MPs) and even Government officers. About 300 or 400 animals are stolen from one area, maybe Samburu, then, they are taken to Turkana’s side and they cannot be found. This is a long chain where people are connected. If you tell the security officers that animals have been stolen, they take their vehicles and they never find them found, yet they are just within the country. On Clause 16(4), the selling of animals between 6.00 p.m. to 6.30 a.m. is already in the principal Act. The movement permit of livestock to be moved from place to place depends on what the veterinary officer says. In this case, there is no movement of livestock from 6.00 p.m. to 7.00 a.m. These animals come from far areas such as Mandera and Turkana. In the past, there used to be a holding grounds where these animals were offloaded. They could get water, rest and then be loaded. However, these days, all those holding grounds have been taken over by private business. Others have become settlement areas and the animals are kept in the vehicles. In the Bill, we need to develop an animal movement system where we must have a holding ground. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
