    "content": "This is a Motion that seeks to declare cattle rustling a national disaster. It also seeks to set up a special fund to ensure that the victims of that kind of crime are compensated. I have several issues with this. The first one is that insecurity in this country is a national disaster, but not when it comes to cattle rustling. We have insecurity all over. Almost everyday, when you open a newspaper or switch on your television or radio, you get reports about people who have been mugged, murdered and maimed because of different types of crimes. Why are we looking at cattle rustling as a special crime? The criminals in this country are coming in all shapes and sizes, and from all sides and all sorts of people? We should be talking about insecurity as a serious national disaster. We have terrorists, bank robbers, carjackers and all sorts of criminal elements. We cannot specify and say in this country, the criminals who are attacking people, taking their cattle and killing them are the ones we should declare a national disaster, and the rest can walk around scot free or be dealt with in other laws. So, my belief is that insecurity is a national disaster, but not just cattle rustling. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
