    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. It is really shocking that after 50 years, this country is not in a position of handling insecurity, particularly along the borders. Hon. Abongotum has said that he has been in this House for the last 11 years and this has been the story throughout. Since we came here, we have had almost three or four adjournments on the same issue. I wonder how many adjournments we are going to have on the same issue. So I am seeing a possibility – I am making my own judgment that perhaps there is negligence somewhere. Perhaps, there is a tendency by any authority somewhere not to take this issue seriously because the cattle rustlers from the neigbouring countries; Ethiopia or whichever country along the border come to Kenya and nothing is being done to follow them. Nothing is being done in that country to ensure that those rustlers are brought to book. So, I suggest that a commission, as one of the hon. Members has said, be set up particularly to look into these issues once and for all so that we do not come across this matter all the time. I really sympathise and we all sympathise with the loss of lives of these individual Kenyans and yet the law of this country says that we should have proper protection for all our citizens. Is it because we do not have enough personnel? To me, I think it is not. Is it because we do not have enough resources so that we can secure the lives of these people? The answer is no."
