    "content": "country and stealing animals. At the same time, they should also stop this practice of making sure that every now and then, they come and steal animals. Even what they get out of the sale of these animals is very little; it cannot sustain them for a very long time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you go to areas like Samburu, the people who do this are known. The tribes which practise this are known. We know in some places of Baringo, the Government does not even have chiefs who can administer security at that particular level. We want the Government to wake up and make sure that proper administrative units and the people to man those units are kept in place, so that they are able to make sure that the rustlers are kept at bay. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we continue to have this menace in our midst and especially for the young generation--- Those who live in these communities know when rustlers strike, they cause a lot of mayhem. They cause the young boys and girls in families to fear, especially when the night comes. They get so scared that they do not know when they are likely to face an attack. As such, I want to urge the Government to wake up and make sure that they move very fast to detect when cattle rustlers are likely to strike and in which area. They should also make sure that people who own illegal arms are brought to book. Since we recently passed a law here that will allow the Government to actually put those who have illegal arms in jail forever; this should start to work very fast, so that evil people are kept at bay. At the same time, with the passage of the new Constitution, I want to believe that the Government will be able now to devolve funds to those areas so that various development activities can take off; that would also engage the youth who practise cattle rustling. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
