    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is really annoying and infuriating that since I came to this House nine years ago, it has become almost cyclic to discuss the matter of cattle rustling every other day. It is really annoying. We have to put this to an end because this House is becoming a talk shop. We talk and talk but we do not see any action. We have to start seeing some serious action on the side of the Government. This is a historic problem. We should not look at it simplistically. I would even trace it to Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 on African Socialism and its application to planning and development in Kenya, which somehow contrived to divide this country. It zoned this country into so called high potential areas and low potential areas then instituted an attitude in Government that you only pay attention to high potential areas. That has to come to an end. We have to treat this country as one unit and the only solution to this problem is for Government to declare it as a matter of national concern. This is a matter of national security. Come down firm and hard on the perpetrators and the beneficiaries of cattle rustling. Otherwise, this should really be the last time we are discussing this matter in a cyclic and none productive manner such as this."
