The Government has all these reports. The National Focal Point on Small Arms has reports on how to deal with cattle rustling. The Ministry of State for Defence and the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security have many reports on how to deal with cattle rustling. It is not that the Government does not know what to do but it just does not want to do its duty. I think we have to address these issues.

Who does not know that if you provide other forms of economic empowerment, insecurity goes down? The Government knows that and it has known it for the last 50 years. Why is it not doing it?
