    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to speak because everybody was heard. Before you do cattle rustling, you must rear cattle, camels, goats and sheep in large scale. I agree with Major Muluvi. I understand him because he neighbours pastoralists. There is serious rustling going on in Kitui and Turkana counties and in Baringo County, where Hon. Cheptumo comes from. This Motion is specific and important. To my knowledge, cattle rustling is historical and a bit cultural. It is part of the initiation process of boys into manhood in some communities. In such communities, one is not complete unless he goes and steals cattle. That is why different communities have different traits. These traits may be height and even physique. This matter, as it is being dealt with in this Motion in as far as setting up a special fund and making it a national disaster is concerned, is peculiar to certain regions and communities. I live in Kiambu County where there is no rustling. You will agree there is serious cattle rustling if you live in Isiolo among the Borana, the Samburu and the Turkana people. If you go to the Pokot, the Turkana and the Karamojong, you will find this practice. This practice is regional. There are communities in Ethiopia which engage in cattle rustling."
