"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I only said is that the Government attempts to outdo the thieves. What happened is that some bandits came and stole the animals. The Government went and removed others from the rightful owners. The simple meaning of âstealingâ is obvious. However, I have no reason to engage my good friend. I am sure he was hoping in the last reshuffle, he could be appointed an Assistant Minister. If you look at recommendation number 14, Archers Post is one of those traditional police posts in that part of the world. It lies on the road between Isiolo, Merille, Laisamis, all the way to Marsabit. It is along this road that you have a lot of cattle rustling and highway robbery incidences. The Committee is just recommending something obvious. I do not know where the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security is. This Archers Post must be made a fully functional police station. Do you need a Committee to visit to state the obvious? As a Minister, can he not recommend that to the Government? We have the Minister for Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Areas who is present here. Can we not recommend such obvious things? This is because part of the problem of cattle rustling is that the Government must take responsibility. The Government has abandoned the people of northern Kenya. It has left us to our own devices and so, you do not expect any development from there. In fact, there is no Vision 2030. Isiolo is supposed to be a satellite city. Isiolo is the headquarters of Kenya. It is the centre of Kenya. What are we doing there? We can have plans with the Vision 2030, but if we do not handle the issues of cattle rustling, those plans will come to nought."
