    "content": " Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. Where I come from, this problem of cattle rustling is very big and persistent. Our people have been impoverished by cattle rustlers. Year in, year out, we lose cattle to cattle rustlers. The Government has come up with many ways of dealing with this problem but it has not been dealt with to finality. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these particular incidences contained in this Report were triggered by the fact that raiders from these regions mentioned in the Report, attacked our area and took away thousands of cattle. In our area, we do not practice cattle rustling. Meru people do not raid anybody. We do not! We are settled and even those who are herdsmen do not raid anybody for cattle. However, there is this particular cultural problem in which Samburu warriors continue raiding people in that region."
