    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this report and thank the Committee for having taken the time to visit the troubled regions of Turkana, Laikipia and Baringo. This region lies in what we call the Saharan region which stretches throughout Somalia, Central African countries including Northern Nigeria. What we learn from Northern Nigeria is that nomadic pastoralism which could be seen as source of problems in Kenya is a well-controlled economy. The Fulanis who dominate the northern part of Nigeria are capable of maintaining free herding and pastoralism as compared to many countries, including Kenya. That is the difference. What we learn from Nigeria is completely different from Kenya. In Nigeria, the Fulanis move their livestock looking for pasture and water during the dry season, and during the wet season they are allowed to move even as far as Sokoto and the southern parts of Nigeria for free. The people will accommodate that as a system in Nigeria. That is the contrast. That is why we have cattle rustling and related problems in Kenya."
