We know that Laikipia is one county where 50 per cent of the land is owned by large scale ranchers. During drought, pastoralists have a tendency of migrating from one county to another. Traditionally, there was a way in which communities would negotiate with each other in order to access pasture and water. It is not easy for pastoralists to use the same mechanisms when dealing with the big ranchers. This is something which requires the attention of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. As a new crop of leaders from the counties neighbouring Laikipia, we have resolved that we need to get rid of cattle rustling. Therefore, deployment of national police reservists in adequate numbers not only in Laikipia North but also in neighbouring constituencies like mine is important. Oldonyiro Ward in my constituency borders her constituency and suffers the same problem. As the Committee considers the prayers of the Petitioner as read out by Hon.
