    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to be very categorical in this House. This is not the first time this kind of Question is coming into this House. It will not be possible for an ordinary person to know how many cattle have so far been stolen except if you have some people to do the physical counting, which was ably done by the Provincial Administration. I have said in this House that it is true that we lost one life and it was an AP officer. I have also said that three people were injured yet he is talking of one. Our statistics show that three people were injured during the raid. My friend and I have been to that place severally, not just once, and he is the one who has been assisting us to restore sanity in that place. The Government has tried and that is why we managed to recover the livestock. If you go to the ground, the Samburus will talk of 5,000 cattle stolen. They are not able to give out statistics because they have not put one of their own to do a research and know how many cattle have been stolen. I do not want to rely on rumours. This is a grave matter and they know that they have been assisting the Government. When we could not reach an agreement with the peace committee, we told the law enforcement officers to give us the number. What I am reading from here is the number given out by the Provincial Administration. The only thing he could have assisted us with is to get us his own statistics so that we compare with ours. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that there have been many cattle raids in this area and Mr. Lekuton said this. Mr. Lekuton himself lost over 400 head of cattle. As I speak, some head of cattle are still at the police station, awaiting identification. May be they belong to the people of Laisamis or to the people of Meru. However, I want to congratulate him for having supported us in identifying those who did the raids."
