    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this important Motion. This is a second or third time ever since we came to Parliament we are talking about this problem of cattle rustling. Primarily, most people claim that pastoralists fight for pasture and that is why there is a time they fight. Security officers in this country have let us down seriously on keeping security in this country. Most of the time, when these instances take place the security officers should be informed. They would rather leave the semi trained officers to go and tackle cattle rustling. The officers should go out and rescue people who are being attacked by rustlers. This is a problem that has been there for a very long time. The information from there is that there are warlords who are behind cattle rustlers. If about 200 animals are stolen at a time, where do they go? They cannot be eaten overnight. They must be sold somewhere. This is a problem which the National Intelligence Service (NIS) should really be looking into. They know those who are behind these issues. We, as legislators, in this country would like to blame this problem squarely on the security officers in this country, but I think they currently lack proper command. They do not look into the welfare of junior officers. They are not even encouraged to do their work properly. The command of Mr. Boinet should take up this matter seriously. He comes from Marakwet and I will be happy to see him take the lead. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
