    "content": "Hon. Speaker, sorry, I thought it was somebody from the Republic of Tanzania who was crossing the Floor. However, the Maasais in the republics of Kenya and Tanzania and even their cattle across the border do not know where the border between Tanzania and Kenya is. Therefore, it is in bad faith and we are not going to discuss the actions of a friendly Government. However, I was only seeking your guidance whether this House could also consider this in solidarity with the cattle herders whose animals were auctioned. It is not gainsaid that the animals were auctioned. I have seen reports that the Kenyan taxpayer is now going to compensate the Maasai herders to the tune of almost Kshs53 million from our taxes yet the cattle were just auctioned in a neighbouring country. I would beseech you to ask Members also in that spirit of non-cooperation to boycott the sports activities as a protest against the auctioning of the cattle and shoving away of many of our farmers who had leased land and paying value in Tanzania to farm and get that produce across the border. Thank you."
