    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill on the Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill (Senate Bills No. 12 of 2023) by the Hon. Sen. Cherarkey of Nandi County, one of the most brilliant Senators we have in this House. I feel that this Bill will go a long way in tackling banditry. I also like that most of it is suggestions on what should be done. I believe that we have many corrections that need to be made, especially on the branding and the movement of livestock. However, my problem would be with the destination of this livestock. When you talk about the northern counties that are prone to banditry, we are not talking about stealing of two or three cows, we are talking about the theft of a huge flock of livestock. Last year, we had an incident where almost a thousand cows were stolen in Samburu County and they disappeared into thin air. I would like to redirect my attention to the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) because a lot of this livestock ends up at the KMC. The Commission is responsible for meat, meat products, and exports in huge quantities. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would be happy if this Bill addressed the movement of livestock into the KMC because that way, we will tackle the origin of this"
