    "content": "regarding the injustices that have been caused by his lineage and his commitment to turn that 180 degrees around. Unfortunately, other injustices do not have that kind of public declaration that was made by the King of England yesterday. I wish that injustices that have led to death in terms of livestock theft would also be addressed through legal action or legislative frameworks. My point is that injustices have been unaddressed in this country. A lot of them have come from matters and disputes regarding land, livestock, and the like. I want to remind the House that livestock is property, just like land is property and there are issues of land grabbing. These issues of livestock theft are just as important. They may not be on our mainstream media all the time until, unfortunately, we see fatal deaths being shared on social media. We must understand that they are as important as any land grabbing. Livestock theft in any of our far-flung counties is just as important as the issues that we are dealing with in the big cities. I am glad that this Bill gives those farmers and investors in the livestock industry a voice and, an ear. I believe that these very specific provisions have come from extensive consultations with people on the ground. It is not something that he has just come up with on his own in his office. He has spoken and listened to communities and he has been able to draft this very impressive Bill. The opinions and views that have come from the ground are being addressed here in this Bill. So, I congratulate the Senator for Nandi County for the livestock provisions that he has put in this Bill. I support and assure him that if I could vote, I would do the necessary and give him my vote. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity to speak."
