    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what happened in Laikipia is, indeed, very sad. Killing innocent animals is uncalled for. In fact, when it comes to conflict resolution in cattle rustling areas, I condemn this in the strongest terms possible. We saw what happened on television. It was sad. I support Hon. Peris. I want all Kenyans to be very objective. What happened was criminal. I appeal to the operational arm of the Government, especially those who are in charge of the police, to take action. I rise to support the Motion, but sincerely ask the Inspector-General of Police to take action against those who were involved. As I speak, those who are involved should have been arrested. I do not want the Government to compensate the victims. I want the offenders to be surcharged. I want them to be jailed so that they will be a living example for this generation and generations to come. The Maasais and Samburus are our people. It is not about land. Animals are very precious. They give us milk and meat and more. Even God himself will curse those who killed the animals. If the law is not going to be followed, I pray to God who gave us life to punish them. I am asking Maasais, because they have Laibons, including from the Kalenjins like Koitalel arap Samoei, whom we all adore and respect--- Animals are sacred. So, I condemn the killing of animals in the strongest possible terms. I wish to inform Hon. Peris that we shall support the Motion, but let the Government not set aside money to compensate the victims. I want the offenders to pay from their pockets. I want them to be surcharged. Apart from that, I want this august House to institute a committee to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
