    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, when these livestock are stolen, they are transported to big towns and cities where they are slaughtered and sold as meat to city residents. We need to tighten the noose. We need to have very good programmes on transportation of animals. We should establish the source of animals transported on a daily basis. If we have reason to believe that the animals being transported are stolen, then we can have an intervention before these animals reach the market. If there was no market for these stolen animals, then we would not have this stock theft. We would arrest this problem. Once these livestock is stolen, they are not kept by the bandits. They are transported for slaughter. We should come up with a method to ensure that all the animals in transit have been acquired genuinely. These bandits always have some very sophisticated firearms. We do not manufacture firearms in this country. The last time I checked, we were not manufacturing firearms. How do these firearms get into our country? This is a question we need to ask. We have manned entry points. Why do the firearms enter our country? Who influences illegal entry? There must be collusion somewhere. It cannot be that these firearms just get into the country. We need to investigate and know the people who collude with the illegal importers of firearms that eventually get into the hands of these bandits. I support establishing a special fund to deal with this matter. We need to put up schools and hospitals in these areas. We need to finance people living in these areas. When a man is growing and is taken to school, they should be sensitized and know that opportunities exist. If you go to school, you do not have to rely on banditry to be gainfully employed. This funding will be of utmost importance. We also need to train our people to rear animals in a way that can be profitable to them. If this fund is established as proposed in this Motion, it will go a long way."
