"content": "discover the police are doing nothing. Even those who are sent to steal, with a behaviour of always restocking, must stop. This must end. If you look at who is involved in that business, we already know where our problems come from. Go to Kibish and Kipsing and look at the farmers around there. They are all armed. There are more than 40 to 50 police reservists where the animals are taken from. They have security that is armed by the same Government. It is high time this Government sat down to reconsider its decision on whether it will continue arming those farmers, especially those ones who cannot stop this kind of an attack to the people of Laikipia. Lastly, for us, we agree that the Government is taking action and the armed forces are being employed. However, how do we now gain confidence in the Government if the same officers who are being employed with command cannot take action? Answers to that must be given to us. The only way we will agree and accept that the Government is taking action is when it will recover our animals and have the culprits brought to justice and being punished. Those who make other people cry must also cry. They should not steal our animals at their own leisure and have the pleasure to go and enjoy the loot. With those few remarks, I beg to support and seriously ask this House to consider amending the laws that are necessary to ensure that there is combined forces and action that can be taken with no boundaries. The army, the police and other security forces should and must come in. I support."
