    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, “cattle rustling” are wrong words. The right words are “persistent robbery with violence in pastoral community areas”. Cattle rustling is worse than cholera and HIV/AIDS. The HIV/AIDS disease is gradual; it gives you notice. Cattle rustling is more than any disease that we know. Cattle rustling has become perennial and persistent in the communities we live in. Just as Hon. Cheptumo has highlighted, many people have lost lives for more than 100 years. One of my names affirms that I was born during a night of cattle rustling when the boma was raided. I was named after a raid. I went to primary and secondary schools when there were raids. I also went to university and got my first employment when there were raids. I have now become a Member of Parliament and raids still take place. Thank God we have made a difference. I thank leaders from pastoral communities who sat down and declared that killings must stop. I thank them wherever they are."
