    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion, which was brought by the Member for Turkana East. Indeed, cattle rustling has become a menace in pastoralist areas. I want to compliment the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government for their effort in ensuring that they reduce insecurity in the pastoralist areas. Indeed, the KPR were armed to help the local community or compliment the National Police Service in handling insecurity in the areas. Unfortunately, you cannot establish the difference in activities between the KPR and the illegal gun owners. So, as a measure of bringing about some order in gun handling, the Ministry decided to, first and foremost, do the first thing first; withdraw all guns issued to the KPRs. I am sure they are in the process of ensuring that the disarmament exercise is carried out throughout the country to ensure that there are no illegal firearms out there to kill innocent Kenyans. Unfortunately, some cattle rustlers have turned the whole issue into some kind of a business venture, ensuring that some parts of the country are without any property. So, they drive their animals from one part of the country to another part."
