    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I was saying, as a result of this single incident, there was resurgence in violence and crime in this area because the way this operation was carried out was suspect; it was not in order and, as a result, those who lost their livestock felt bitter up to this moment. The Government could not account for the recovery of these animals. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the recommendation of the Committee is that, unless the Government fully accounts for the loss of these animals; why the Government went with such force to recover such a large number of animals from very, very innocent people-- If you talk of about 4,000 head of cattle taken from a community and yet those who were suspected to have committed the crime are very few people, it was the duty of the security personnel or the Government, for that matter, to arrest the suspects but, instead, the Government used a lot of force. In fact, apart from the animals they took from this one community, they also harassed people, there are a lot of bad things that happened within the community and some people have been maimed up to now. So, what we are saying is that unless the Government – and this is the point that we want to make very clear – accounts for the loss of these animals--- What came out is that after they took all these animals, they took them to the fields and instead of compensating the community they were supposed to compensate, they shared them out without any order."
