    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, today cattle rustling is a business. It has been commercialised. It is a business done by cattle rustlers. When they raid and steal cattle, those head of cattle end up in Dagoretti slaughterhouse for sale and slaughter. They also end up in other markets like Emali. So, we must eradicate it because it is a commercial undertaking. It has even now moved from being a commercial undertaking to a cartel. That cartel involves very senior people, even in the Government. When they are planning to go on a raid, the police are not involved, and even where cases are reported no action is taken. The cartel hires lorries and they are even protected on the roads. They pass through all the roadblocks all the way from Wajir to Dagoretti. They pass more than 30 roadblocks, yet no single vehicle has ever been impounded and the people and drivers arrested. We must condemn cattle rustling and bring the business to an end."
