    "content": "should be checked. As one Member has said, tarmac construction is much expensive in this country than in other countries. If you go to Zambia, which has a smaller economy than ours, they are doing very well in tourism. We are losing tourists to Zambia because of insecurity. We can check insecurity by first of all reorganising ourselves and moving out of Somalia and defending our borders because that is the requirement under international law. We were only in Somalia for a short while to stabilise things but now we seem to be staying there forever spending a lot of money. We need to reorganise how we do our budget and how we make sure that we deal with the issue of cattle rustling which is internal. Initially, the Government had plans to do a big buffer zone of irrigated crops because these cattle rustlers are ordinarily looking for food. If they find food, they will not go and kill Kenyans. We saw innocent children dying. We also saw children defending themselves with arrows. The same day the President was speaking, we lost 10 people. Children were defending themselves while we had a lot of security here, which was unnecessary. We need to get our priorities right and have a Government which will serve Kenyans better. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
