    "content": "I wonder why they kill each other and leave the meat with nobody to eat. This is very sad. They should be taught other modern ways of handling cattle. Even zero grazing would be a better way for these people to practise. They should be trained so that they leave that method or way of living where people are pastoralists and the only thing they know is to chase and kill each other because of cattle. They can be taught how cattle can be of greater use to them when they do not kill each other. The Government should invest money from primary school up to university to change the way of thinking of those people. The issue of security agents being changed from one area to another because of cattle rustling has become a problem and it will not solve the problem. Cattle rustling should be taken as a very serious menace which should be researched on so that the Government comes up with a blueprint on how to solve this problem. This problem will not be solved by moving security officers from one area to another one. There should be a way of dealing with it so that it is stopped completely. The only way is for us to invest and stop thinking the way we have been thinking all through. Changing security officers and going there to seize the guns the cattle rustlers have is not solving the problem. Let us change the mind-set of these people. I support the Member who brought this Motion. This is a very important Motion. Before this research is done, I urge the security officers in those areas to take stern measures to make sure it is curbed before our people are finished by cattle rustling. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
