    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I support this Motion that was brought by Sen. Cheptumo, the Senator of the great people of Baringo County. We have been waiting for this Motion because of the current occurrences. The other day, an MCA was killed in Samburu. The same incident happened in Baringo. I put it to the nation that this issue of cattle rustling is not only in North Rift and South Rift, but cattle rustling and banditry affects over seven counties. For the record and in order for Kenyans to understand, let me state them, so that it does not appear that we are discussing issues of Samburu and Baringo only. It affects seven counties. That is a population of 8.8 million Kenyans who are affected by the menace of insecurity through cattle rustling and banditry. The counties are Baringo, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Turkana, Isiolo, Marsabit, Laikipia and West Pokot. That is like a half of the country. Therefore, this is a national disaster in its form and design. Unfortunately, cattle rustling has been commercialized into a criminal enterprise that continues to deny Kenyans from more than eight regions, with more than 8.8 million people a livelihood which is livestock keeping. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services, Senate."
