    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support this Motion. I am a victim of cattle rustling. Kerio Valley, which is known for the production of water melons and all fruits, is now a valley of death. It is a total shame that the President and the Deputy President (DP) are going around seeking for votes when Kenyans are dying. It is a shame that this is happening in the Rift Valley where the DP, General Nkaissery, the Inspector General (IG) and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, Hon. Kamama, come from. It is a shame. You can imagine cattle rustlers going to drag a teacher outside a class and shooting him to death. Three days ago, in my constituency, the same cattle rustlers beheaded an old man and took away the head which was recovered yesterday. He is still in the mortuary. It is shameful that the Government is spending billions of shillings to take the KDF to Somalia yet our citizens are not safe. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is really a shame. We want to see the President himself address this insecurity. We cannot even say it is a national disaster. I think we are heading to a failed State. It is a failed State and this thing has to be treated. It has to be treated. Cattle rustling must be taken as robbery with violence. It cannot be taken cheaply. We stand as Members from this area and ask the Government why Kenyans are dying. It is real! A child of three days killed with the mother and you say you are leading a Government? I want to say the President should get out of State House together with the DP and address the runaway insecurity. I support."
