Baringo County, that is both Baringo South and Baringo North constituencies are faced with serious security challenges as has been said by my colleague from Baringo South. I would like to say that the Government has the responsibility to ensure that the safety of the Kenyan people in Baringo County and other parts is guaranteed. The provision for the Kenya National Police Reservists is, perhaps, the best solution that I would propose as a way of managing this problem. I am saying that because the inhabitants of those areas understand the terrain of the area. They are able to manoeuvre and follow the raiders and even assist in recoveries and in stopping this menace. I have a Motion before the House next week where I am calling upon Government to establish a special fund. This is because this cattle rustling problem has caused untold suffering. People are dying. We have a lot of widows and widowers. There are people who are millionaires today and yet tomorrow they are paupers. On the other hand, those who were paupers yesterday because they have come to steal, turn into millionaires the following day. It is so serious a challenge to our national stability that we have to take a serious step---"
