    "content": "As has been said, the issuance of permits will go a long way in addressing the issue of movement of cattle. I listened keenly to the Chairman when he was talking about the issue of permits. He talked about the number of cattle and how they are supposed to be moved, but he did not talk about the carcass. Should we not have a condition on slaughtered animals, that is, the carcasses? I think it is a condition that we should include. More so, if you participate in cattle rustling and end up killing a neighbour, or a person from another county, you are supposed to be charged with murder. You are not supposed to be handled like someone who did nothing. The practice of elders meeting and resolving disputes through exchange of goats, cows and gourds should not be allowed anymore in this era. Elders just sit and decide that they are in a position to resolve such disputes yet they do not do enough justice to the affected persons. As the Committee Chair said, lives have been lost. What happens to the dependants of the people who have been killed? These are matters we need to look into. I concur that we should look at the Bill itself in detail with a view to introduce amendments where necessary."
