    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. It is a Motion that is well intended. I just hope no one is rustling my microphone. Cattle rustling is a perenial problem that affects most northern parts of Kenya and various sections of the Rift Valley. Cattle rustling causes security issues and various community conflicts. I read this Motion and for me, it is duo faceted Motion. On the first part, I think the Mover of the Motion intends to deal with the security issues in the northern region which come about as a result of cattle rustling. On the second part, it appears that he wants the arming, proper remuneration and training of the National Kenya Police Reservists. I am not a security expert and so, on the part of arming the KPRs, perhaps that should be left to people who understand best the issues of security. We are all in agreement that the security structure of this country needs to be re-looked into and various persons that support the various facets of security in Kenya can then be supported. If at all the KPRs will then be found as that particular bolt that will fit in the whole security conundrum, then that will be a good thing to support. I would like to speak more to what I think would be some of the suggestions in terms of helping the issue of cattle rustling. My perception is that issues of cattle rustling would be dealt with best if at all we had national cohesion and community cohesion issues, so that arming our KPRs would just be dealing with the symptoms of this problem."
