    "content": "tomorrow.” This is because these are very petty offences in the villages. It is not an offence where you find somebody is being held by the back of his trousers and he is walking with suspended feet being frog marched to the police. It does not help. Wananchi also get to know that when you transgress the law, there is a law enforcement mechanism which is for good order of society and not for creating chaos and punishing people unduly. Madam Temporary Speaker, we need to have phraseology in Clause 15 that will ensure observance of human rights as people get the law enforced on them. Clause 11 is very vague. I do not know what the proponent of the Bill intended to say by: “An officer may impound any animal that is kept in a manner that is contrary to county law.” Which county law is this? When you have this kind of vague law, you give room for abuse. Many counties do not even have laws that regulate how to keep animals. They will start imagining that, probably, if one has tied their animal on the road reserve to graze, it is contrary to law. You may know this because you come from a county where there are a lot of these issues. They will take their animals, go and sell them and share the money. That will be the end of it, and villagers will be frightened stiff; they cannot complain. They will just say: “I will get another animal in future.” They will start calling relatives and sons in Nairobi saying: “ Nitumie pesa . I want to buy another animal. Yule mwingine ameenda .”"
