    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very important Report that makes a wide range of recommendations on what Parliament and specifically the Senate thought would be a good way to intervene so as to address the issue of unnecessary violence, loss of property, injuring of human beings and loss of lives. It is amazing; with the benefit of hindsight, I remember 15 years ago in the National Assembly, I moved a Motion intended to address the issue of cattle rustling. At that time, Hon. Poghisio and Hon. Kamama, the current Member of Parliament for Tiaty opposed, belittled me and said that I was challenging their culture because they claimed that to them cattle rustling was a sport. I remember they said that. I had intended that we amend the Penal Code so as to classify cattle rusting as a capital offence. Currently under the Penal Code, cattle rustling is not given special mention. It is just indicated as an offence associated with robbery with violence. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
