    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. The problem of cattle rustling should be considered as robbery with violence. It is painful because it has caused a lot of suffering in my Constituency of Igembe North. This is because other people come and claim that they are coming for re-stocking. They steal animals which end up getting lost within the country. Cows are not like small birds. Cattle rustling is not only a robbery activity but also a business. It is no longer a cultural activity. In my opinion, it is a multi-million business which should be investigated. We have all security agents in this country. I wonder how you would have 100, 200 and 300 head of cattle being lost and not to be traced within this country. There is no reason absolutely. This is because in this Republic, we have county commissioners, deputy commissioners, chiefs, assistant chiefs, village elders and Nyumba Kumi people at the local level. Where does the livestock disappear to? If they are transported by vehicles - sometimes they are stolen and put in lorries or even small vehicles - where do they pass? This is because there must be roads where they go. There are also rules on transportation of livestock. Somebody somewhere must do what he or she must do so that we have these things right.
