I know that this Motion is in her heart because it affects her directly. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the latest animals statistics that we have in this country, there are 17 million cattle. Out of these 7.6 million are in counties that are troublesome. These are counties where we have encountered serious rustling in the recent past. They are around Trans Nzoia, West Pokot, Turkana, Isiolo and a bit of the southern part in Narok and Trans Mara. I have presented these statistics because I want to talk about the very enormous economic potential that these animals are holding. Therefore, it is a very relevant point that we can discuss at this time, how we can unleash that potential from being a pride within communities into a financial economic activity in the country.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
