    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, cattle rustling is now causing insecurity, because when your cattle are stolen, there is counter attack. Therefore, it is a vicious circle. Your cattle is stolen today and the following month you organise a raid to go and try to get them back. That is causing a lot of insecurity. Initially, you could never get a Maasai stealing the cattle of another Maasai, but today it is happening. That means that even the traditional safe-guards are not there. When in the pastoralist communities in North Eastern Province cattle is stolen from a certain clan the following month the clan retaliates. Therefore it becomes a vicious cycle. This is one of the causes of underdevelopment. We must do whatever is required to eradicate cattle rustling. We cannot accept cattle rustling in the modern Kenya. It retards development, causes injuries and deaths. If it requires a Parliamentary Select Committee, then let us have it. As I had said, we know the causes and we should now come to eradication."
