    "content": "Sen. Mwaruma is right when he says that if a person makes an agreement with a land owner, they should restrict themselves to that land. The people who have violated the law of the country must be punished. Once they are punished, they must compensate the people whose land they trespassed with their animals. We have a principle in the law of torts which we call trespass ab initio . This is one of it and where you can a charge somebody a certain token for the number of cows or camels that are in your land. I should have preferred that the names of people who have trespassed into other people‟s land should have been put in this report. The Committee, with the assistance of agricultural officers, should have found those herders liable, so that they pay for it. If they have entered into agreements with the owners of land, they pay for it. Where they enter into somebody‟s land illegally, they should be forced to pay for it. If not, you take criminal action against them. We must protect the rights of land. Herders must be told that we love them and their animals. However, we too love our land. They should not come unless they have our consent."
