    "content": "cattle rustling have sophisticated firearms that even our regular police are scared of following up on those animals when cattle rustling is taking place. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion because it is going to give us a solution to the current cattle rustling that we experience in our country. We have tried several measures that are not assisting our communities. We have tried that on issues of drought, but we still have challenges. As a country, we need to focus on helping the source of livelihood for our people because the poverty is rising in so many areas where cattle rustling is taking place. Drought is killing our animals, yet cattle rustling is also taking the animals away. So, where should we go as pastoralist communities? This is a challenge that we need to put our heads together on and get a solution for. Unless we do so, the many challenges we have in our country will not be solved. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of drugs is cropping in many of these areas because animals are taken away then people end up doing nothing. Youths in areas like Isiolo are getting into drugs. If they are not employed, most them will not shy away, they will say why not? I will stop at that as I support the Motion. I believe that whatever we are going to propose as far as this Motion is concerned should be cascaded down, so that we be able to deal with the issues of cattle rustling because it is a real national disaster in our country."
