    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, I would like to support the Motion with a lot of reservations. In this Motion, there are good proposals like that of providing uniforms, identification documents and regular allowances to police reservists. Those are good proposals. However, I have a lot of reservations relating to provision of automatic firearms to those civilians. I say so because, to me, cattle rustling is not purely an issue of security. There are lots of socio-cultural issues relating to cattle rustling. I am sure that in some communities, cattle rustling is a highly regarded social-cultural activity. I do not think we can sort out cultural issues using guns. So, even as we look at the issue of arming police reservists, as a House, we need to think of how to help such communities to do away with some outdated cultural practices. In Kitui County, where I come from, we do not have serious cattle rustling problems."
