    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I do not take it for granted. Allow me to congratulate Hon. Lentoimaga. He has been our Chair for a long period. I am not making reference to what happened yesterday between Hon. Didmus Barasa and Hon. Kaluma. Informally, he has been able to bring the region together. We have been discussing the NPRs. There has been progress. When you see this Hon. Member rise to debate issues of NPRs, there is something as a region we are backing and that requires us to formalise the process of making sure we recruit the NPRs. They are properly remunerated, recognised, recruited and trained. They not only carry weapons to protect their communities from community raids or banditry but they also work in coordination with area OCSs, OCPDs and County Commanders. There is no way we are going to deal with issues of cattle rustling if it does not start from the communities and even at our village levels. We have Nyumba Kumi and wazee who are working closely with our local administration. For us to be in a position to win this fight in areas especially that are prone to these problems, and areas where illiteracy and poverty levels are high, we need to make sure that as a Parliament we bring this debate to the right place. This is the right place. We need to come up with legislation out of the Petition that is going to be handled by this Committee and make sure that this matter is brought to an end. Allow me to congratulate the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination. I come from Laikipia County. However, for once we have enjoyed peace in the counties of Samburu, Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet. I can confirm that the incidences of cattle rustling have reduced. With that, I want to thank my neighbours. I also want to recognise one Member although I cannot really recall his name…"
