    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we had also proposed amendments to the Penal Code. The first amendment to the Penal Code indicates: “To redefine cattle rustling as a capital offence.” You cannot have a situation where cows are stolen, women are raped, houses are torched, people are killed and you tell people: “ Ita wazee waongee ”. It cannot work like that. We must call it as it is, a capital offence. As I finish, I want to commit that the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations is taking up this matter. Kindly allow us to follow it within our workplan - so I will not say two or three weeks - but within our workplan which I will engage with you on. We are taking up this matter and we will move forward. I would wish that the Leader of Majority and in his absence, the Leader of Minority, gave a Statement on the very ridiculous statement we have heard from governors today saying that they must be immune from corruption. I am happy I did not see Governor Mike Sonko of Nairobi City County there; I do not know what your governors were doing there. We must challenge that issue. Article 143 does not provide for immunity of governors. If they are corrupt, they need to be jailed."
