    "content": "flooded in the past week, roads were impassable, lives were lost in other parts of the country, yet tomorrow, we will say that there is no water in taps in the houses of residents of Nairobi. Where is the coordination? The Chairman should tell us who between the Ministry of Devolution and Planning and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation is responsible for pumping water to the residents in my county. Finally, when we talk about cattle rustling, this response should be treated with the contempt it deserves. I am sorry to say that. When they just tell us that cattle rustling is archaic; we know it is archaic and a crime, but what are they doing about it? We proposed legislation in this House to amend the Penal Code to define cattle rustling for what it is; an economic activity. We have not received support for that. We need to be more serious. I will take up this matter as the Vice-Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relation together with Sen. Dullo who is in my Committee. We will take away this aspect from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Devolved Government and Intergovernmental Relations since it is beyond his Committee’s mandate. We will take it up because we cannot go on in this vicious cycle where cows are stolen, women are raped, houses are torched, and then you tell wazee to exchange cows and goats as restitution. In the 21st Century when others are in stock theft while others are in stock exchange, we need to change our way of thinking."
