    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to second. It is quite sad that we have been losing quite a number of our youth to what I would call criminals. That is because up to now, we have not been able to know who has been killing our youth in this country, especially in areas around Nairobi, Dagoretti, Limuru, Lari and other areas. Our investigations could not go far because we were told that on one hand, the CID Officers were also carrying out investigations. We left it upon them to move fast and make sure that they come to the conclusion of this matter. There are cases where the Government must move fast to unearth and find the motives behind those killings. We have had deaths in Dagoretti where several taxi drivers were killed in one night. The reasons that were given to us were also quite appalling. We know that the people who were suspected to have committed the crime have already been taken to court. We could not go further than that. On the issue of deaths in my Nyakatch Constituency, people disguise themselves as cattle thieves and come to steal animals at night. I believe they collaborate with a few criminals in my constituents. They steal animals and, in the process, vent their anger on my people by killing and maiming them. In the last three years, we have lost 11 to 15 lives and several of them have been left maimed. That is very serious and, as I have always said in this House, the kind of cattle rustling that is taking place in my constituency is not very serious as in other places. If the Government wants to deal with this kind of problem which is in my constituency, it can take a very short time to tame the menace. The gangsters who are involved in these kind of crimes are known. The names have been given to the police."
